[thelist] Menu List question

[Robert Hanson]

Don't rely on your menuing system alone to control access to any web page.
If user A can see that report, he can get the URL for it and send the URL
to person B, who should not have access.  You're fine with limiting the
menu to those items the user can pick, but you need to add security to each
page too.
