[pmwiki-users] Checking permissions in the template?

Perhaps this is a simple question, but I haven't found a solution yet.
Essentially what I want to do is a (:if auth edit:)... at the
*template* level. Specifically, I only want the edit link to be
visible if the user has permission to edit the page.
I see that PmWiki kind of does this by including PageActions. I tried
this approach first, but PmWiki wraps the link in <p> tags, which
breaks the container I need to put this link in.
So now I am at the template level. I could use ReadPage on the
current page and the GroupAttributes page, but that seems overkill.
Is there a way to get at the current permissions for a page? I need
some way of saying:
if(USER_CAN_EDIT) $MyEditFmt="{$Name}?action=edit"
else $MyEditFmt = '';
Surely there's an easier way than what I'm doing...
Thanks,
Ryan
