Menu access by user group

Lorentz Teigen

We have used a check against useraccess to controll access to custom menus in CS 7.5 and earlier

if (userAccess(getVariable("activeUser"), "admin")) { ... 

Is it possible to instead check for the users group or part of the group name? I am not vell versed in how the tablestructure for groups are handled after the change to 7.5.

Hi Lorentz,

you can access the UserGroup table through the associate table: 

String userId = getVariable("activeUser");
String groupId;
String groupName;

SearchEngine seGroup;
seGroup.addField("associate.group_idx");
seGroup.addField("associate.group_idx.name");
seGroup.addCriteria("associate.ejuserId", "Equals", userId);
if(seGroup.select() > 0)
{
  groupId = seGroup.getField(0);
  groupName = seGroup.getField(1);
}

RE: Menu access by user group

This will only give you the primary usergroup. If you need to check all usergroups you need to search against UserGroupLink
