Hi all, I would like to know if there is a way to know what is the
kind of MCMS User Role a logged user belongs.
For example, i created a User Groups my_editors of kind Editors MCMS
User Role, and I put in this group an user called for example
cmsEditor.
I would need to know if there is a way to get, by the name of the user
(cmsEditor), the MCMS User Role (Editors) the Group the Right Group
this user is part (my_editors) is of the kind of.

Thanks and regards

Elena

Hi Elena,

As far as I can tell there is no way to do this through the MCMS API.
The workaround that we have been using is to:
1. Create a checks channel with subchannels corresponding to specific
user roles you wish to identify, in your case something like
Checks->my_editors
2. Change the permissions on this channel to allow the my_editors
group access to it.
3. To determine if a user belongs to the group in your code simply
test whether the currently logged in user is able to create a new
posting in this channel (using the CanCreatePostings method on the
channel object).

The only caveat is that this will not allow you to differentiate
between your my_editors user and a user belonging to the
Administrators group.

Hope this helps

Graeme
