If what you really want to test is group membership, I think you're supposed to use the Identity Services framework (e.g. CBUserIdentity, CBGroupIdentity, etc.). https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Networking/Conceptual/IdentityServices_ProgGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html However, you should rarely test that. Instead, you should attempt to obtain the appropriate right for what you're trying to do. For that, use Authorization Services. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/security/conceptual/authorization_concepts/01introduction/introduction.html Regards, Ken _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
