accessing component ACL asset outside component

[Ortix]

I have created a component with ACL which works perfectly fine. However I want to access the component ACL in the quickicon module to hide specific icons from specific usergroups.

 

Example:

 

JFactory::getUser()->authorise('partner.create.order', 'com_partner_portal')

 

This doesn't seem to work in the mod_quickicon module. Any ideas how I can get this to work? I tried joomla forums, stackoverflow and the IRC channel with no success. This is kind of my last resort other than hard coding the usergroup id's in the module
