Author How to Find the Role of a User

I need to find out how to determine the role of a particular user (whether
author, editor, or moderator). I figure I can separate author from this
group by the CanApprovePosting being false, but how would I separate the
moderator from the editor? Is there something easier for me to find out the
roles?

Thanks.

Hi Scott,

MCMS does not provide a way to do this.
But you can workaround this:
- create a channel and assign all editor rights groups to the channel.
Nothing else
- create a channel and assing all moderator rights groups to the channel.
Nothing else

Then do a GetByPath to these two channels and check if the search returns an
object or not. If it returns an object then the user is either an
administrator or it is in the desired role.
To separate out administrators use the method described here:
