I'm facing a similar issue here. Users' groups are included in areas. I didn't
find a way of checking if an user belongs to this or that area until I read
your message! Thank you very much.
I find a drawback, although. It works great when a given user is granted the
rigth you check with $xwiki.hasAccessLevel() only through the right you grant
to the "top-level" group to the dummy page/space you propose to create. But,
what about administrators? They will be listed as belonging to the top-level
group in any case. We could filter out members of the administration group but,
in some cases, those guys/gals belong to other groups that I would like to
check!
I can't find a simple solution for this issue. Please, any ideas?
Some kind of method taking into account this "inherited membership" will be
extremely welcome. Please, could anybody point me to the keywords or relevant
Jira entries about this or related topics? I'm sure advanced users or dev team
members are talking about it! Thanks!
