Check for a user role - the right way

Oliver Busse on 02/12/2013 01:49:19 CET, filed under SSJS Formula

Most documentations show the code number 1 for checking if a user has a specific role. This may work if your applications runs in a browser only but will fail in the Notes client. The second version shows how to achieve this in both clients and it feels like the more elegant way.

// number 1: this one works only in a browser
@IsMember(context.getUser().getRoles(), "[RoleName]")

// number 2: this will work in both client types
database.queryAccessRoles(session.getEffectiveUserName()).contains("[RoleName]")
