Hide a NavBar

Is it possible to hide a navbar for users without the right permissions? (through xml)

Thanks

Security Trimming
By default the links added using the NavBar element are treated as 'external', so no security timming or other clever Sharepoint stuff is applied. To get the links to act as internal links unfortunatley you need to write a bit of code.

I've written a blog post that covers the steps required to make this work. Hope it helps.
