Chris,
this is unfortunately one of the nastier problems with mapguide. It
is a 'selling feature' compared to other OS mapping engines, but in
reality it doesn't actually work the way you might think it would.
There is no direct way to deal with this. It would be quite a lot of
effort to develop scripts to work around this. The most practical
solution at this point in time is to make your layers readable by
everyone and create duplicate map definitions with sets of layers
based on group or user privileges.

Has anyone played around with being able to control what layers are
visible based on User or Group? It would nice to control if a user
or group can see a specific layer. Is there an easy way to do
this? I was playing with the permission tab on the layers, however
if you change it so the logging in user doesn't have permission to
that layer all you get is an error message saying you don't have
permission to whatever specific layer. What would be nice is if
there is a layer a user doesn't have permission to see, the map
just skips that layer when the map is being built.
If anyone has any suggestions I'm listening.
Thanks,
