Is there a way I can hide a link in my header when one particular person is logged in?
This is the situation:
I have a group called "Designers" that subscribe to get access to a certain area. This group has a sec. level "2"
What I need is to make a "generic" designer that I can give out to some users, so they can have access to this part when I want to show them something in this area, and will change this password every week (so they will have no more access after that)....
The "Designers" of course need to keep this access.
In my header I have a link: "Your Profile" where designers can change their password etc...
I want to hide this link from this "generic" user. For the generic user I created a member called "Generic".
I rather not add an extra sec. level (1 lower then the Designers) because this means I have to adjust over 200 pages 
Is there any way I can hide this link (not in a grid etc) in my header so that If UserName="Generic" link is not visible?
Please help, thanks.
ASP / CCS 3.1 / MS-Access DB
P.s.: I'm a kind of a new-bee to coding so go easy on me

200 pages and is a newbie? Strange this, but ok.
You can make a Custom Code, where you compare the name, if cannot show, setVisible(false) to the Link.
Put the Link with Extended HTML.

matheus,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm a newbie when it comes to the custom coding. I mostly used CCS with the "basics"
I already had a feeling that I needed to work with the Visible = True/False statement and I can implement this fine when it comes to a grid or panel, however I do not use these within my header. (also do not use any tables in the header)
Should I implement a Panel within the header to accomplish this or do you have an example code for me I could use instead in the BeforeShow event?
Thanks.

Why you don't use SetVisible Before Show the Control Link?

further to Matheus:
and identify the 'special' Designer by his Id.
You apparently have only 1 such user in your usertable, add the link as
invisible an set it to visible depending on GetUserID() == your special
users ID
Bad practice, but works ok
LOL
