TOPICA Basic Class PermissionCollection

ToLines

String

Count

Integer

Number of objects in the collection

Integer

Zero-based:

EmployeeUser.Permissions[0] returns the first Permission related to the Employee user.

String

Look-up by permission name.

May be used to test whether the logged in Employee user has a permission with a given name.

Example	Description
EmployeeUser.Permissions["Everything"]	Returns the "Everything" Permission, if the logged in Employee user has this Permission - null if the user does not have this Permission.
IsNotNull(EmployeeUser.Permissions["Everything"])	Returns true iff the Employee user has the "Everything" Permission - in other words, iff the user is system administrator.  Note The above example is the CORRECT way to check, whether the user is system adminstrator (has access to everything). Checking for profile "SystemAdministrator" is the WRONG way. See ProfileCollection. Summary: to check whether user is system adminstrator, check for Permission "Everything", NOT Profile "SystemAdminstrator"! Sorry for the less that intuitive names...
