I tried using the peopleBean for a user I added to the acl (Test User99).  It displayed the right information for the displayName, etc. (the first four in the image below) but when I got to information about the access of that user it just displayed information about the currently logged in user.  All the computed fields use the syntax:

 return peopleBean.getPerson("Test User99").canCreateDocs;//with canCreateDocs being replaced by the appropriate method.

Is the peopleBean useful to return information about that user's security level? It worked fine when used with userBean and the currently logged in user.

Thanks,

Howard
