I've got my own one too, from the previous web ap I wrote, which I'm not

Yes; I can probably help with that if you need an extra hand.

I've read pretty much every document available on the maypole main site,

SO, here's a question for you.  What's the easiest way to wrap security
around the existing CRUD actions?  i.e. I need to put a piece of code in

unless the logged in user has some particular attributes.
