Hi,

I want to show users with edit rights some extra things on a page. I can't use the isEditable boolean because it's only set to true when a user selects the "Edit" checkbox at the top of the page.

So, i need to find a way to see if a user has edit rights, also when he's just viewing the page.

Does somebody know how i can do this ?

Thanks

I would recommend taking a look at the code for IsEditable in the SOURCE package and seeing how it is checking for page edit rights, you could do the same (without requiring edit mode) in your module.

 Public ReadOnly Property IsEditable() As Boolean
            Get

                ' Perform tri-state switch check to avoid having to perform a security
                ' role lookup on every property access (instead caching the result)
                If _isEditable = 0 Then

                    Dim blnPreview As Boolean = (PortalSettings.UserMode = PortalSettings.Mode.View)
                    If PortalSettings.ActiveTab.ParentId = PortalSettings.AdminTabId Or PortalSettings.ActiveTab.ParentId = PortalSettings.SuperTabId Then
                        blnPreview = False
                    End If

                    Dim blnHasModuleEditPermissions As Boolean = False
                    If Not _moduleConfiguration Is Nothing Then
                        blnHasModuleEditPermissions = (PortalSecurity.IsInRoles(_moduleConfiguration.AuthorizedEditRoles) = True) OrElse _
                            (PortalSecurity.IsInRoles(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.AdministratorRoles) = True) OrElse _
                            (PortalSecurity.IsInRoles(PortalSettings.AdministratorRoleName) = True)
                    End If

                    If blnPreview = False And blnHasModuleEditPermissions = True Then
                        _isEditable = 1
                    Else
                        _isEditable = 2
                    End If
                End If

                Return _isEditable = 1
            End Get
        End Property
