Determine User's privileges

drcorbeille · 13.09.2004, 02:38

How can I know if the current user is an admin from within a module. I'd like to adapt the module's display according to the current users privileges.

Any help appreciated,

Chris

is this what you are searching for:

Code:

# Check for Editor rights
$is_editor = (strtolower($my->usertype) == 'editor' || strtolower($my->usertype) == 'administrator' || strtolower($my->usertype) == 'superadministrator' );
$is_user =  (strtolower($my->usertype) <> '');
$is_special = (strtolower($my->usertype) == 'editor' || strtolower($my->usertype) == 'author' || strtolower($my->usertype) == 'publisher');
$is_registered = (strtolower($my->usertype) == 'registered');

mrjinx,

Is this the code which is used to create/modify rights of the groups?

Pls tell us, what file does contain this code?

Thx,

No it isn`t!
This piece of code is just a mamboroutine to check the rights of an already checked-in user.

I`m not able to tell you where you can find exactly the code you are searching for because I don`t understand whatfor you need it!
