I am developing a plugin that should check a user's role(s) before allowing them access to certain survey level plugin settings.
There doesn't appear to be a getUserRole method
here
, so I decided to use getUserGroups instead, but that doesn't give me a list of users in a user group - user group objects only have the group's ugid, name, description, and owner id.
I figured out a way of achieving what I wanted. For some reason, User Groups don't allow the owner of the group to be part of the group, and that adds an extra condition you must check.
private function getUserGroupAttributeByUserGroupName($user_group_name, $attribute)
{
foreach ($this->api->getUserGroups() as $i => $group){
if($group === $user_group_name){
return $group[$attribute];
}
}
return NULL;
}
// survey level settings for plugin
public function beforeSurveySettings()
{
$current_user_uid = $this->api->getCurrentUser();
$admin_ugid = $this->getUserGroupAttributeByUserGroupName('Admin', 'ugid');
$user_is_admin = $this->api->getUserInGroup($admin_ugid, $current_user_uid);
$admin_group_owner_id = $this->getUserGroupAttributeByUserGroupName('Admin', 'owner_id');
if(!is_null($user_is_admin) || $current_user_uid == $admin_group_owner_id){
// Only these users can access this block:
// - users in Admin user group
// - Admin user group owner
}
}
It would be nice to achieve this with an API call like
Code:
if(in_array('Admin',$this->api->getUserRoles($current_user_id))){// code here }

Sincerely,
If i have to create API function for all usage i have : i didn't have a lot of plugin.
Else : feature + pull request are welcome.
