Hi Eli,

Thanks for taking note of this. I have another request for documentation, this would be for the "Client Presentation/CUI"

Regards,

Kamran

Hi Kamran! Thanks for the feedback. We're working to improve our API docs, and it's helpful to hear what areas are most useful to you guys. I've flagged the CCO object as a good topic to prioritize.

Thanks for your response. I wonder why they don't publish the API documentation. That would be so helpful.

I assume this function is part of the Aras.Server.Security.Permissions class in the Aras.Server.Core.dll (?). At least in I12. I don´t know if there is an official API reference guide available. In theory you could analyse the DLL but this probably would void the terms-of-use. And the function names are not very useful anyway without proper samples.

In this this specific case I either found it in this forum or somewhere in the OOTB Innovator code years ago. The PE application uses it. In general the PE code contains a lot of useful and less known stuff to reuse.

But also the forum mentioned it: DEVELOPERS FORUM - Check Identity List for specific identity

In I14 the code has changed to: CCO.Permissions.IdentitiesList

Hi Angela,

I know this is very old, but you probably know the answer to this question. Can I ask you how you came to find this method (Aras.Server.Security.Permissions.Current.IdentitiesList)? Is there documentation somewhere that lists this? Or was it something you picked from some other code?

Thank you,

Kamran

Hi, you can use this:


function pb_isCurrUserMemberOfIdentityId(identity_to_check)
{
if (identity_to_check === "") {return false;}
var sessionIdentitites_array = top.aras.getIdentityList().split(",");
// now we have all identities the current user (session) is member of
// scan if given identity is in the list - if yes, return true
for (var i=0;i<sessionIdentitites_array.length;i++)
{
if (identity_to_check == sessionIdentitites_array[i]) {return true;}
}
return false;
};
