Hi Everyone,
Is there a simple way to determine whether a user has a particular role
name? I would like to have a function that I give a role name and which
returns true if the current user has the role and false otherwise. I
want this function so that I can make a user interface change available
options depending on the current user's roles.
I would like the function to work even if the current user doesn't have
the xdmp-user-roles privilege. I would prefer not to have to create an
amped function to do this.
My current hack looks like this:
declare function s:user-has-role(
$role as xs:string
) as xs:boolean {
try {
xdmp:role($role) = xdmp:user-roles(xdmp:get-current-user())
}
catch ($e) {
fn:false()
}
};
This works fine if the current user has the xdmp-user-roles privilege.
However, if the user doesn't have this privilege then the function
always returns false regardless of whether the user has the specified
role name.
Best,
Tim Finney
