Checking for membership of a group

Jason_Webb_(eu0023304_-_(deleted))

Hi all,I need to work out if the logged in user is a member of a given (named) group in LL 9.6.Is there an easy way to do this?If not then I need to get the ID of the currently logged in user so I can call UAPI.RightsListByID I don't want to call UAPI.GetUser as that is marked as depracted in the documentation.At the moment I get the current user name by callingcurrentUserName = request.prgCtx.fUSession.fUserNamebut ID or fID doesn't work for fUSession and I can't find a list of the keys on fUSession anywhere.

Message from Chris Bowman via eLinkThe easiest way to find the key of a record or Assoc is to echo out therecord/Assoc.

Yeah I thought so tooIt killed the LL server (and debugger) dead with an access violation.I didn't bother persuing it any further as I assumed this was LL's way of saying "don't do that - it hurts"

Hi Jason,I do not have LL 9.6, but have tested the following in LL 9.7 and it works fine:// testingobject uSession = request.prgCtx.fUSessiondynamic uGroupsif isDefined(uSession) && !isError(uSession) uGroups = UAPI.RightsListByID(uSession.fSession, uSession.fUserId) if isError(uGroups) dynamic check = error.ErrorToString(uGroups) endend// end testingCan you put a breakpoint on your script and inspect the value of request.prgCtx.fUSession?? Maybe you have encountered an LL 9.6 bug - do you have another version to test your code??Donna

Jason_Webb_(eu0023304_-_(deleted))

That was the missing piece of the puzzle.I only have 9.6 here but as I now have a solution I'm not inclined to look at the access violation unless some one from Opentext is interested in my possibly sloppy programming.

Donna Nalls

I doubt your programming was sloppy....more likely that Livelink was being tempermental --- that's our story and we're sticking' to it!!! ;o)best,donna

Message from Carsten Kulms via eLinkby the way a tipp: Generally it is safer to use the correspondingfunctions to retrieve e.g. the user session.----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<----PrgSession ObjectWhen a Livelink user logs in, Livelink generates a PrgSession object,which is also called a program session object, for the user.The PrgSession object is a placeholder object that allows you to accessthe other session objects that are created during a Livelink session.For example, you can access the DbConnect object from the PrgSessionobject's fDbConnect feature, the UapiSession object by calling thePrgSession object's USession() method, the DapiSession object by callingthe PrgSession object's DSession() method, and the WapiSession object bycalling the PrgSession object's WSession() method.----8=--------8=--------8=--------8=---- [Livelink Module Developer's Guide: Reference Area - Session Objects]

I have now read that section :)Another question though.How do I get the PrgSession when there doesn't seem to be one?I need to invoke my global method to work out if a user has rights to see a given button in a ProcessMultiSelect module (copy, move,delete). If they have no rights to see the button (our license limit) then they don't see the button.However function Boolean IsEnabled() doesn't seem to have access to the prgctx. Any ideas?

Hi Jason,

In Livelink 9.5 the IsEnabled function of MultiSelectModule is not passed a prgctx. If you are certain that this script will only be called by a request handler (which seems reasonable) then you can use $WEBDSP.RequestHandlerSubsystem.GetCurrentPrgSession() to access it.

In Livelink 9.7 the IsEnabled function is passed 3 parameters, including the prgctx.

(By the way, in addition to mentioning the version of Livelink you're working on, it's a good idea to start a new thread for each new question.)

Hope this helps,

-chris

Another question though.

However
function Boolean IsEnabled()
doesn't seem to have access to the prgctx. Any ideas?

Although this isn't an Oscar speech I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me out recently. We have integrated our document review product PleaseReview (www.pleasetech.com) with the main LL interface - a job that would have been very difficult with the help I had on this forum.-- JasonP.S. Chris is correct - a) I should have told you the LL version, and b) Once question per post is much easier to read
