I have an issue with the working of API call $isUserInGroup.
Imagine the group Employees consisting of two subgroups: Drones and
Management. Each employee is in one of those groups. When a space has
view rights for Employees, members of both groups have access.
When I check ($xwiki.user.isUserInGroup('XWiki.Employees') however for
a manager, I get a negative response, because the user is not in the
group XWiki.Employees.
My work-around: create a page/space where Employees has access to, and
use this call: $xwiki.hasAccessLevel("view", $context.user,
"Intranet.WebHome")
Hope this helps those who don't understand why the call is giving a
negative result ;)
Kind regards, Joris

I have an issue with the working of API call $isUserInGroup.
Imagine the group Employees consisting of two subgroups: Drones and
Management. Each employee is in one of those groups. When a space has
view rights for Employees, members of both groups have access.

I'm facing a similar issue here. Users' groups are included in areas. I didn't
find a way of checking if an user belongs to this or that area until I read your message!
Thank you very much.
I find a drawback, although. It works great when a given user is granted the rigth you
check with $xwiki.hasAccessLevel() only through the right you grant to the
"top-level" group to the dummy page/space you propose to create. But, what about
administrators? They will be listed as belonging to the top-level group in any case. We
could filter out members of the administration group but, in some cases, those guys/gals
belong to other groups that I would like to check!
I can't find a simple solution for this issue. Please, any ideas?
Some kind of method taking into account this "inherited membership" will be
extremely welcome. Please, could anybody point me to the keywords or relevant Jira entries
about this or related topics? I'm sure advanced users or dev team members are talking
about it! Thanks!
