Thanks David. I always feel bad when I ask a question that is in the existing documentation.
For others (unlike David) who do not have the documentation memorized, the "logic:present" tag will take a "role" attribute: Checks whether the currently authenticated user (if any) has been associated with any of the specified security roles. Use a comma-delimited list to check for multiple roles. Example: <logic:present role="role1,role2,role3"> code..... </logic:present> (RT EXPR) Thanks again.
