I have a controller, and to invoke all its actions the user has to have privilages to do that. The question is how to check that before action is executed? If the user doesn't have permissions I want to render a View with error message. I tried to use overriden OnActionExecuting method, but I can't return a View from that method

As a matter of fact you can:
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
bool userHasPermissions = CheckUserPermissionsFromSomewhere(filterContext);
if (!userHasPermissions)
{
filterContext.Result = new ViewResult
{
// you can also specify master page and view model
ViewName = "Forbidden"
};
}
else
{
base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
}
}

It works, thanks! :) I'm also wondering how to create a 'base' method which will be rendering a view with error messages (the message will be used as a parameter). Any ideas ?
In the class Controller this method is protected.
