Security permissions

[Niv3k]

Is there a way I can check a user's security permission while they are loading a page, to know whether or not to a a javascript function to the page? Let me clarify:

I have two users: Bob and Tim. Bob is allowed to update information. When Bob clicks on a

<TD>

he will be able to go to a page where he can update the information.

Tim is allowed to view information only. I do not want Tim to ever be able to click on a hyperlink and get an authentication / scary ugly page (OH, NO! What did I break!?!?) error.

Permissions can come from the SQL Server itself, or NTFS. But I don't want to write 2 seperate pages. I am using NT integrated security, Anonomous access is disabled.

how about something like;

<%
if permissions = &quot;OK&quot; then
response.write link for people who have permission
else
response.write something else
end if

Please expand on that: Is &quot;permissions&quot; a global variable, or is it one I have to define?
