[xwiki-users] rights of current user

[Esbach, Brandon]

I try to use groups to determine my rights wherever possible, so for me I just do a check on the user's group membership.

Ok, maybe checking permission to WebHome  isn't the best way to go, so if anyone could follow up on the "sql query" suggestion, it would be nice.

However, I still don't understand why my script doesn't work. If a user has viewing rights on a WebHome page (the user can actually view the page), the hasAccessLevel method still returns false. Why is this?? I've tried replacing 'WebHome' with 'WebPreferences', but with the same result.
