	Hey Steven.

	You probably want two things:

	(1) Bugzilla->login(LOGIN_REQUIRED) for methods that can only be used 
by logged-in users.

	(2) Bugzilla->user->visible_bugs (which is defined in Bugzilla::User).

	If you are going to show products and components to users as well, you 
will have to do security on those in a different way.
