[mapguide-users] Security on layers or featureSource

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

I can see why this could be usefull, but I can see situations where it 
would be troublesome to detect why a layer won't render.
If you haven't already done it, you can create a ticket on Trac and 
request it as an enhancement.
