f:be.security.ifAuthenticated¶

This ViewHelper checks to see whether the current page visitor (backend user) is authenticated or not. According to the result of the check, the content of the subsidiary f:then or f:else ViewHelper will be parsed.

This feature is predominantly used in the front end of the website: you can check whether the website visitor is currently authenticated as a backend user. A good example of a possible use case is for a front end editing tool, which should only be made available to a validated, logged-in backend user.

<f:be.security.ifAuthenticated>
   <f:then>
      You have permission to edit this content.
   </f:then>
   <f:else>
      You must log in if you want to edit this content.
   </f:else>
</f:be.security.ifAuthenticated>

<f:be.security.ifAuthenticated>
   You are seeing this message because you are
   logged in as a backend user.
</f:be.security.ifAuthenticated>
