Find users in a group

[srini46]

Hello I have an application which would use a “group-application” type of ACL. That means, all the users in that group would be able to access that application, while others would not be able to. Now I have created a dummy group and added a few users to that group.

Now I would do this

if(user is from that group)
{
echo ‘welcome to app’;
}
else
{
header(’…/index.php’);
}

So I am unable to understand how to get to check if the logged in user is part of a group. I can create a reference object for phpgwapi.accounts class and retreive account data using get_account_data method, how do I find if this user is part of my group??

$members = $GLOBAL[‘egw’]->accounts->members(‘xyz’,true);
if (in_array($GLOBALS[‘egw_info’][‘user’][‘account_id’],$members))
{
// code if current user is a member of group ‘xyz’
}

or

$memberships = $GLOBAL[‘egw’]->accounts->memberships(
$GLOBALS[‘egw_info’][‘user’][‘account_id’]);
if (in_array($group_name,$memberships))
{
// code if current user is a member of group $group_name
}

All account-data of the current user is available via
$GLOBALS[‘egw’][‘user’] (does NOT contain memberships).

Thanks a lot Sir. Using these I should be able to work with access
permissions.

BEWARE of a subtle typo in both example snippets (which, as a beginner to the system, bugged me endlessly, because this did not work):

Both

$members = $GLOBAL[‘egw’]->accounts

must read

$members = $GLOBALS[‘egw’]->accounts

(GLOBALS instead of GLOBAL !)

When accessing the user info later in the snippets, the name is correct though - thus I thought, that the name difference was on purpose, i.e. one array for callable objects, the other for multi-dimensional data entries…
