Hello,

We are using a custom module to display a site map of the site. The site have some pages that are available to super user only (they don't show in the navigation unless the current user is a super user) . To get the list of tabs we use:

ArrayList tabs = Globals.GetPortalTabs(PortalSettings.DesktopTabs, -1, false, false, false, false, false);

However doing this displays all the tabs regardless of user permission (ie the tabs array contains both the super user tabs and the the regular user tabs event if the user in not logged in)

We tried to change the code to:

ArrayList tabs = Globals.GetPortalTabs(PortalSettings.DesktopTabs, -1, false, false, false, false, true);


But in this case the tabs array is empty. Is this a bug or are we not using the GetPortalTabs properly?

Thank you.

I had mis understood the meaning of the last argument of GetPortalTabs... Looking at the source code explains that the behavior:

If bCheckAuthorised Then
'Check if User has Administrator rights to this tab
If PortalSecurity.IsInRoles(tabTemp.AdministratorRoles) Then
arrPortalTabs.Add(tabTemp)
End If

If set to true the tabs are shown only if the user is an administrator...

So to resolve the problem we changed the code to use a tempporary ArrayList and then loop through is with the following test:

If bCheckAuthorised Then
'Check if User has Administrator rights to this tab
If PortalSecurity.IsInRoles(tabTemp.AdministratorRoles) Then
arrPortalTabs.Add(tabTemp)
End If
