queryAccess on Web

Category: Server Side JavaScript
Platform: All
Release: 8.5.3
Role: Developer
Tags: XPages,Web
Replies: 2

In an XPages application, I want to restrict users with Reader of lower access from executing a function that includes saving a document. To check their access level, I use the following code:

var db=session.getCurrentDatabase();

var user=session.getUserName();

var accesslevel=db.queryAccess(user);

I condition the saving of the document on accesslevel >= 3 (2=Reader, 3=Author, etc.)

This works correctly on a Notes client, but on the Web it attempts to save the document regardless of the access level. Does the queryAccess function not work on a Web browser?

Doh!

Should have used getEffectiveUserName().

On a Web browser, getUserName() returns the SERVER name.

If you're using the ext. library there's now a "userBean" that can make something like this nice and easy. I don't have an example handy but I'm pretty sure there's one detailed in the Ext. Library book.
