Hi David, Thanks for your response! As you suggested, I've been experimenting with ignoring the security constraints via the Pagemanager constructor (I use the DatabasePageManager btw). This seems to work when editing the existing Pagemanager. The problem is that I need two separate Pagemanagers; the standard Pagemanager with security enabled when normal pages are accessed and a secondary pagemanager for the menu that ignores the security constraints. I've tried to add a second pagemanager for the menu-related queries. This doesn't seem to work (the security constraints are still applied). I think this is due to the DatabasePageManagerCache which is the same for both Pagemanagers. Do you have any suggestion for duplicating or getting around this single cache-instance?
Thanks in advance.
