Metadata Admin privilege

fatboytim

Hi,

I'm trying to determine whether the logged on user has the Metadata Admin privilege, and will enable/disable options depending on the outcome.

This is a library privilege, but it appears I can only find out whether the user has it by iterating through all Workspaces/Workgroups/PrivilegeAssignments which is obviously not overly efficient. So first question - is there another/better way?

Second. I've tried manually giving myself the privilege in the database (PRV_GRANT) table, and it works - I can alter the metadata. However, when checking the privileges using the method I've just described, it appears that I don't have the metadata_admin privilege granted??

Thanks

In 5.0 we introduced Library.isPrivilegeEffectivelyGranted() exactly for what you described.
