Make sure to add in the space, otherwise it won't know what group you're referring to: $user.isUserInGroup("XWikiAdminGroup") should read $user.isUserInGroup("XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup"). Note that there is an easier way to get admin rights though; by using "hasAdminRights()". Otherwise use the isUserInGroup -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vitantonio Messa Sent: 26 October 2007 11:56 To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] isUserInGroup Hi Ricardo, you need to call it from an user object, hence: - #set ($user = $xwiki.getUser()) ## to retrieve the current user, or getUser("XWiki.UserName") to retrieve any user - $user.isUserInGroup("XWikiAdminGroup") ## to check if this user is in the admin group I didn't try the code, but it should work fine.

Hi all,

Please, could you help me to find the right syntax to check if an user

belongs to a given group?

I've been playing with the isUserInGroup method without success.

Thank you so much,

Hi, The following lines reads It works! when current user belongs to the given group (XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup in this case). #set ($user = $xwiki.getUser()) #if($user.isUserInGroup("XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup")) It works! #end Brando: I was aware of the hasAdminRights() option but I need te check users belonging to groups not with admin rights.
