permission checking via lapi

Loretta_Goralczyk_(goralczyk.loretta@gene.com_-_(d

Is there a lapi call that takes a User ID and an object ID and returns the permissions for that user for that object?I know of the GetObjectRights and ListRights calls, but I'd rather not compare the groups IDs myself. I'd also like to do this without calling impersonateUser.Thanks

Im trying to figure out the best way to determine permission on a node as well without having to compare each set of permissions... Is there anyway to do this?

I ran into the same thing. You have to use GetObjectRights to get the RecArray containing the rights and user/group. I use this:
LLValue objRights = (new LLValue()).setRecord();
doc.GetObjectRights(volID, objID, objRights);
boolean canEditPerms = false;
boolean canModify = false;

// Enumerate through the objRights Rec Array
LLValueEnumeration rights_enum = objRights.enumerateValues();
while (rights_enum.hasMoreElements()) {
LLValue rightsElement = rights_enum.nextValue();
int rPerms = rightsElement.toValue("PERMISSIONS").toInteger();
int rightID = rightsElement.toValue("RIGHTID").toInteger();

if (rightID == userID) {
// userID is determined earlier as the current Livelink user. canEditPerms = ( (rPerms & pEDITPERMS) == pEDITPERMS );
canModify = ( (rPerms & pMODIFY) == pMODIFY );
}
}

=================
You can use this to determine any permission set for the object. I have a global variable section declared that sets pEDITPERMS=LAPI_DOCUMENTS.PERMS_EDITPERMS, etc., just for ease sake.
Hope this helps!
