Remarks

Allows the conditional display of content depending on the user’s permission. The content can be any HTML code or other controls. One use of the SPSecurityTrimmedControl is to hide the Site Actions menu and the Publishing Console from anonymous users:

Examples

<SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl ID=”SPSecurityTrimmedControl1″
  PermissionsString=”BrowseDirectories” runat=”server”>
    <PublishingSiteAction:SiteActionMenu runat=”server” />
    <wssuc:Welcome id=”explitLogout” runat=”server” />
    <PublishingWebControls:AuthoringContainer ID=”authoringcontrols”
    runat=”server”>
        <PublishingConsole:Console runat=”server” />
    </PublishingWebControls:AuthoringContainer>
</SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
