Show content in a list based on previligies???????

Question

Here is my scenario. I have a page that a Super User uses to add content of item type and set the access previligies for users who will ba able to see this. I am developing a Java Portlet that will have a drop down list populated with the links to above added content. The list populates based on the user previligies and only shows items that a user has access. Selecting any item from the list will display the content in a new window. Can someone guide me how can I achieve this, tables to look etc. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

You can modify the properties of your System Name lookup column so that the System Manager and System DVP columns are automatically pulled in.  They can then be displayed in views of the Bug list as if they were columns on the Bug list.  To do
this, go to List Settings, then click the name of your lookup column; in the Additional Column Settings area it will say "Add a column to show each of these additional fields" followed by a series of checkboxes for different columns you can choose to duplicate.
I don't believe that you can show people-picker columns from a lookup connection, but you can get around this by adding simple single line of text field to the System list, then creating a SharePoint Designer workflow on your System list that copies the
System Manager name to the new field whenever an item is added or updated.  The new field can be brought in through the lookup column without any problems.
To update the Assigned Date, Rejected On, and Rejected By fields, the simplest option would be a SharePoint Designer workflow that triggers when an item is added or updated on the bug list.  You'll want to create a couple columns to keep track of what
the Status and Assigned To fields were set to (you could call them PreviousStatus and PreviousAssignedTo).  Then in the workflow you'll be able to compare the current value to the previous value and execute whatever logic you want.
Since you don't want users updating these new columns you'll be creating, you can hide them from the list forms.  To do this, first enable content types on the list (List Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Allow management of content types). Then
from the list settings page, select your content type (Item), then click the name of the column you want to hide, then choose "Hidden" in the Column Settings section.
Hope that helps point you in the right direction!
