Hi Renjithr

You can check if the user is in a role using:

Executions.getCurrent().isUserInRole("MyRole")

With this, you can apply the kind of logic shown here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/344117/how-to-get-user-roles-in-a-jsp-servlet

A starting point could be as:

<zscript><![CDATA[
    List allRoles = new ArrayList();
    allRoles.add("1"); //your possible roles here
    allRoles.add("2");
    allRoles.add("3");
    List userRoles = new ArrayList();
    for (int i = 0; i < allRoles.size(); i++) {
     if(Executions.getCurrent().isUserInRole((String)allRoles.get(i))) { 
      userRoles.add(allRoles.get(i));
     }
    }
]]>
</zscript>

Hello renjithr,

For future reference you could use spring security for your application as shown below:
