I would create a custom form class that does the checks as it is adding
elements to the form; if the user does not have privileges for a
particular element, you do not add it.
class FooForm extends Zend_Form
{
public function init()
{
$acl = Zend_Registry::get('acl');
$user = Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getIdentity();
if ($acl->isAllowed($user, 'FooForm', 'someoption')) {
$this->addElement('checkbox', 'someoption');
}
// etc...
}
}
