Question

So, I’m grabbing data from a sharepoint 2007 announcements list, and displaying it on another site. I need to make sure that the web part that I created is not displayed for people who don’t have permissions for the site I’m getting the data from. How do I “disable” the web part if a user doesn’t have permissions?

I’ve tried this.enabled = false in the onload() event, didn’t work though.

Answer 1

protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output) {
    if (i have permissions) {
      base.Render(output);
    }
}

And to avoid UnauthorizedAccessException(s), be sure to check if user has appropriate permissions in any other place where you access any webs, lists and data.
