Retrieving a "user role" in TeamSite 6.7.1

Hi,

I am having a strange problem. We are currently upgrading from TeamSite 6.1 to TeamSite 6.7.1. We have a CGI script that runs on 6.1 that uses the following to retrieve the user role:

my $role = $cgi->{'form'}{'user_role'};

When I implemented this CGI into TeamSite 6.7.1, for the iw_role I get the following when I run show_env.cgi under "cookies":

iw_role od-admin

When I run show_env.cgi in TeamSite 6.1 I get under "cookies":

iw_role master

Does anyone know how to retrieve the user "role" in TeamSite 6.7.1? I am a bit confused. I went ahead and deleted all my cookie information and now "iw_role" does not even show up when I execute show_env.cgi. I do not even see my "role" displayed anywhere.

Does anyone have any ideas.

I appreaciate any input.

Thanks,
James

James, this may help ..

Are you a master on your TS 671 installation?
if not, TS 6.7.1 has roles based on branches..Are you having any role assigned to you on the Branch?

There are numerous of hidden things which changed in between version 6.1 and 6.7. However, i suggest you to open a support ticket with Interwoven and you will get the answer real quick and thats too, exact.

Thank you everyone for your replies.

What I ended up doing is using calling the Flexroles.pm module. In this module there is a subroutine that you can pass values to get the user role information.

If anyone needs this code, send me a message and I will be happy to give it to you.

Thanks,
James

Could you please provide the path for the module you have used?

It's where you would expect it to be - iwhome/iw-perl/vendor/lib/TeamSite/Flexroles.pm

Unfortunately in 6.7.1 (not sure about SP1) - the module has no POD documentation - so you have to look at the source code to understand it instead of being able to run perldoc on it (sigh)
