Knowing User roles
|
|
| Randall 2004-06-28, 7:29 pm |
| Hi all,
Is there a way to know about the user and their roles?
I want to know whether a logged user is an administrator or not.
Please guide me.

| My understanding is that you cannot get get the roles associated with a user from the PAPI. You can only tell whether they CanApprove etc.

| That is correct.
A workaround would be to implement a channel structure like the following
/Channels
/HelperChannel
/Administrators
/ChannelManagers
/Editors
/Moderators
/Authors
/Subscribers
Then assign all channel manager groups to the ChannelManagers channel, all
Editors to the Editors channel, ...
If you now use the searches object to retrieve one of the channel you can
identify if the current user has this role by testing if you receive an
object or not.
Cheers,
Stefan.
