Re: [xwiki-devs] How to check if a specific document has programming rights?

Hi devs,

I tried to use:

$someDoc.hasProgrammingRights()

but unfortunately this method checks the current/context document,

I agree that it does not really make sense but it's to late to change it now.

not the one on which it is called. The code is in com.xpn.xwiki.api.Api:

/**  * Check if the current document has programming rights, meaning that it was last saved by a user with the  * programming right globally granted.  *  * @return <tt>true</tt> if the current document has the Programming right or <tt>false</tt> otherwise.  */ public boolean hasProgrammingRights() {    com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki xwiki = this.context.getWiki();    return xwiki.getRightService().hasProgrammingRights(this.context); }

So how do you check if a specific document has programming rights? AFAICS I need to either access the rights service or change the context document, but both require programming rights.. How can I check programming rights without needing them?
