Check access on page that inherit security

Question

Hi,
I'm building a dynamic menu which needs to render a page_group with all his pages and subpages. I want to implement security in such a way that only pages are shown wherefore the current logged-in user has manage rights for.
Currently I have 2 pages and each page has a subpage:
Page 1
->Page 1.1
Page 2
->Page 2.1
On page 1 and 2, I specify access settings (grant a group to access these) and the subpages of both pages will inherit these access settings from there parent pages (respectively page 1 and 2).
If I check whether a user (that belongs to the above mentioned group) has access to Page 1 or Page 2, the result is TRUE. (using wwsec_api.has_privilege)
When I check whether a user has access to a subpage of page 1 or page 2, the result is FALSE, although they must inherit the access settings configured on there parent pages.
My question now is: is there a function available which checks the access settings on pages that inherit these? If not, how can I easily implement this requirement.
Thanks in advance,
Koen

Why not do that locally?

All the more reason to do it locally. Can you install Apache
or are you on
a Mac?
