Hi,

I need to check if the logged on user is in a role that has edit rights on a page:

I was using the SuperUser check -
if (UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo().IsSuperUser)

and the Admin role check
if (PortalSecurity.IsInRole(PortalSettings.AdministratorRoleName.ToString()))

but how do I check if they are neither Admin nor a SuperUser, and yet they have a role with the right to edit the page? I could iterate through each of the users role, but is there a convenient method or property I could just use?

Actually, this leads me to another question...

What's the difference between:
PortalSettings.ActiveTab.AdministratorRoles.ToString()
and
PortalSettings.ActiveTab.AuthorizedRoles.ToString()

There are 2 shipped rights - View and Edit - how do these tie into these properties? Which one property do I need to determine if the user has Edit rights on the page?

I am not 100% sure on this but my guess is that administratorRoles relates to edit rights as they can chang ethe module and are essentially administrators.  The AuthorizedRoles relates to those that are authorized to view the current page.
