Display content if user group

Question

I'm using PL/SQL to render a whole host of content in HTML via Oracle Portal.
What I'd like to do is display a piece of HTML if the current user is within groups X, Y or Z.
So in layman's terms:
IF user_group = SLCPortalDeveloper
then
htp.p('<p>this is some html content</p>');

Answer 1

No joy with that. My existing PL/SQL is quite deep though so wonder if that's an issue?
