[xwiki-devs] How to check if a specific document has programming rights?

[Marius Dumitru Florea]

Hi devs,

I tried to use:

$someDoc.hasProgrammingRights()

but unfortunately this method checks the current/context document, not
the one on which it is called. The code is in com.xpn.xwiki.api.Api:

/**
 * Check if the current document has programming rights, meaning that
it was last saved by a user with the
 * programming right globally granted.
 *
 * @return <tt>true</tt> if the current document has the Programming
right or <tt>false</tt> otherwise.
 */
public boolean hasProgrammingRights()
{
    com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki xwiki = this.context.getWiki();
    return xwiki.getRightService().hasProgrammingRights(this.context);
}

So how do you check if a specific document has programming rights?
AFAICS I need to either access the rights service or change the
context document, but both require programming rights.. How can I
check programming rights without needing them?

Thanks,
Marius
