Pertti,

Decalre a public field

public bool ltrue;

Set up security on a mmcontrol that will act as a proxy for your templatecolumn control.
Then add the following code to your Page_load event

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

// ltrue controls the Enabled property of the 
// datagrids TemplateColumn's Hyperlink
// I use the in-line syntax in the HTML view
// to set ltrue true or false. 
// track with the accesslevel of btnAdd.
// btnAdd is a button on the form but you
// can use any control that has a ControlID property.

   mmSecurityAccessLevel AccessLevel = mmAppBase.SecurityMgr.GetAccessLevel(Session["mmUserSecurity_UserPk"],this.btnAdd.ControlID);
   switch(AccessLevel.ToString())       
   {         
       case "ReadOnly":   
	ltrue=false;
	break;                  
       case "Full":            
	ltrue=true;
	break;
       case "None":            
	ltrue=false;
	break;
      default:            
	ltrue=false;
	break;
  }

}

Use ltrue via inline syntax to control enable attribute of your templatecolumn control:

>YOU WROTE: Do you want to have security for an entire column or individual rows of a specific column. I recently had to secure a column in a grid that contained a hyperlink. The entire column of hyperlinks was either enabled or not as per security. If this is what you need I will go back and dig up the code. It involves creating a hyperlink templatecolumn and then setting attributes for the column depending on security settings. Next week I will actually be working on a grid that needs to have specific rows of a column secured. If this is what you need I could share that also. Talk to you soon. BTW I use role-based security exclusively. I have not done this for user-based security.
