The easiest solution would have been if there were a [groups] tag like the global [UserName] tag to test against, but there isn't.Thanks to all the help and suggestions we got here we got the WebDNA figured out and it is relatively simple (in retrospect :-)All that's needed is [foundItems] [SHOWIF [lookup db=/webcatalog/users.db& value=[Uppercase][UserName][/Uppercase]& LookInField=user&returnfield=groups& notFound=TextNotFound]^[PW_GROUP]] ... [/SHOWIF] [/founditems]where [PW_GROUP] is the field of the found item which contains the group which should be granted access.I hope I copied all of that in correctly ... it's been a long but fruitful day ! -Sven_____________________________________________________________________ Sven U.
