Jukka Zitting commented on JCR-2910:
------------------------------------
OK, fair enough.
Since the feature is already as User.isAdmin() and if I understood correctly
this functionality is only needed for a fairly limited set of uses, would a
utility method as suggested by Felix be more appropriate here? Adding a new
public API method just for convenience is fine if it saves thousands of lines
of repetitive client code, but I'd rather put it in a shared utility method if
we're talking about just a few dozens of instances where this functionality is
used.

> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Thomas Mueller
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently finding out if the session user is an admin requires:
> JackrabbitSession js = (JackrabbitSession) session;
> User user = ((User) js.getUserManager().getAuthorizable(session.getUserID()));
> boolean isAdmin = user.isAdmin();
> Or: ((SessionImpl) session).isAdmin(). However casting to an implementation
> is problematic for several reasons.
> I think it would make sense to add isAdmin() to the JackrabbitSession
> interface, so the code above would be:
> ((JackrabbitSession) session).isAdmin()
