HasObjectPermissionTo

This function returns whether or not the given object has access to perform the given action.

Syntax

bool hasObjectPermissionTo ( string / element theObject, string theAction [, bool defaultPermission = true ] )

Required Arguments

• theObject: The object to test if has permission to. This can be a client element (ie. a player), a resource or a string in the form "user.<name>" or "resource.<name>".
• theAction: The action to test if the given object has access to. Ie. "function.kickPlayer".

Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use. For more information on optional arguments, see optional arguments.

• defaultPermission: The default permission if none is specified in either of the groups the given object is a member of. If this is left to true, the given object will have permissions to perform the action unless the opposite is explicitly specified in the ACL. If false, the action will be denied by default unless explicitly approved by the Access Control List.

Returns

Returns true if the given object has permission to perform the given action, false otherwise. Returns nil if the function failed because of bad arguments.

Example

This example kicks a player if the user using it has access to the kickPlayer function.

-- Ban command
function onKickCommandHandler ( playerSource, commandName, playerToKick, stringReason )
    -- Does the calling user have permission to kick the player? Default
    -- to false for safety reasons. We do this so any user can't use us to
    -- kick players.
    if ( hasObjectPermissionTo ( playerSource, "function.kickPlayer", false ) ) then

        -- Do we have permission to kick the player? We do this so we can fail
        -- nicely if this resource doesn't have access to call that function.
        if ( hasObjectPermissionTo ( getThisResource (), "function.kickPlayer", true ) ) then
            -- Kick him
            kickPlayer ( playerToKick, playerSource, stringReason )
        else
            -- Resource doesn't have any permissions, sorry
            outputChatBox ( "kick: The admin resource is not able to kick players. Please give this resource access to 'function.kickPlayer' in the ACL to use this function.", playerSource )
        end
    else
        -- User doesn't have any permissions
        outputChatBox ( "kick: You don't have permissions to use this command.", playerSource )
    end
end
addCommandHandler ( "kick", onKickCommandHandler )
