We already had long thinking and discussions about such "features" (and related ones, like suggesting to log in to view the page), but the result was not to do that. The simple, but very fundamentaly problem is that, as long as the user is not logged in, you do not know who he is. Thus, you can't predict if logging in would give him the permissions you just denied him. So, hinting "log in to access this" or even redirecting to the login form is not the right thing to do (in general - it might be different in special acl configurations). OTOH, it is maybe not that big issue. If a user solves that once, he/she will know what to do in future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
