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. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bjørnar Libæk Sent: 18 December 2007 09:32 To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] rights of current user 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. Bjørnar Jan Kodera wrote:

Hi, i think the problem is, that space preferences is in ${space}.WebPreferences page and not in WebHome. Your script just find, if the user have rights to WebHome page not for entire space. WebPreferences has object global rights and i think there you have to do some sql query to find out, if user have rights or not.

Yes, but this require that you change your script everytime you add new spaces/groups. I would like to avoid this.

Ok, this seems to work: #if($xwiki.hasAccessLevel("view",$context.getUser(),"${space}.WebHome")) The complete script is then: #set($spaces = $xwiki.spaces) #foreach($space in $spaces) [$space>${space}.WebHome] #if($xwiki.hasAccessLevel("view",$context.getUser(),"${space}.WebHome")) acess? Yup<br> #else access? Nope<br> #end #end

This is the right method, check if you really can't view that page.

I did check this. When trying to view the page, I got the "You are not allowed to view.." box, but the method returned true. As mentioned in my previous post, when using $xwiki.hasAccessLevel method I got the desired behaviour.

Then there's a bug somewhere...
