Hello Peter,
you should be able to retrieve all permission fields you need by using the interface de.espirit.firstspirit.access.store.Permission (Access API).
The rough idea could be as follows:
- in each page determine the groups with the desired permission (for example "can_change") and write
them to a variable (e.g. all groups comma separated into a Java String). - Then write code for retrieving the current Portal user and his Portal roles and check whether any of his roles match any of the "can_change"-groups.
This is how the FS-API can be used:
$CMS_SET(set_groups,#global.project.getGroups())$
$CMS_FOR(group,set_groups)$
$CMS_VALUE(#global.page.getPermission(group).canChange())$
$CMS_END_FOR$
Maybe you want to generate a result like this:
String canChangeGroups="Chief-Editors,Editors";
Examples for using the Portal-API (not tested or complete!):
IUser user= UMFactory.getAuthenticator().getLoggedInUser(request, response);
Iterator itRoles= user.getRoles(true);
String currentRoleId;
IRoleFactory roleFactory= UMFactory.getRoleFactory();
IRole currentRole;
String displayName;
boolean isEditor = false;
while(itRoles.hasNext()) {
currentRoleId= (String) itRoles.next();
currentRole= roleFactory.getRole(currentRoleId);
displayName = currentRole.getDisplayName();
if(canChangeGroups.indexOf(displayName) != -1) {
isEditor = true;
}
}
Do these examples help you?
