Method Details

checkPermission

boolean checkPermission(String permission)

determines whether the current user has the permission to perform a certain action. All information regarding the current user is capsulated by a MCRSession instance which can be retrieved by

 MCRSession currentSession = MCRSessionMgr.getCurrentSession();
 

This method is used for checking "a priori permissions" like "create-document" where a String ID does not exist yet

Parameters:

permission - the permission/action to be granted, e.g. "create-document"

Returns:

true if the permission is granted, else false
