Hiding Controls from Anonymous Users
I have been working on our latest initiative this weekend, MOSS Connect. As I was plowing through issues I ran across an article where the author was hiding different page elements from anonymous users with the following tag:
<Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl runat="server" PermissionsString="BrowseDirectories">
[content to be rights-trimmed]
</Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>It occurred to me that I could hide Welcome and Site Action menu from anonymous users in the same way. This is how I did it on MOSS Connect:
<Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl runat="server" PermissionsString="BrowseDirectories">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<!-- Login -->
</td>
<td>
<wssuc:Welcome id="IdWelcome" runat="server" EnableViewState="false"/></td>
<td>
<!-- Site Actions Menu -->
<PublishingSiteAction:SiteActionMenu runat="server"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>Oh, now you are wondering how you would log in. Just point your browser at a protected page like _layouts/settings.aspx.
