[rt-users] Displaying a section based on access to a queue--Answer

[Matthew Watson]

That's a pretty messy way of doing it, you are looping over all the
queues but only doing any action if the queue is "8" , it would be
better to just load queue 8 and test on that. Something like this,

 

% my $q = new RT::Queue($session{'CurrentUser'});

% $q->Load('8');

% if ($q->Id && $q->CurrentUserHasRight("SeeQueue")){

<br>

 <& /Element/MyElements &>

<br>

% }

 

 

This should scale a lot better as you get more queues.

 

Matt.

I played around long enough and found a solution to this. I figured I'd
share with everyone:

 

%my $q=new RT::Queues($session{'CurrentUser'});
%$q->UnLimit;
%my $cansee = 0;
%while (my $queue=$q->Next) {
% if ($queue->id == 8) {
%  if ($queue->CurrentUserHasRight('SeeQueue')) {
%   $cansee = 1;
%  }
% }
%}
%
%if ($cansee) {
<br>
<& /Elements/MyElement &>
<br>
%}

I would like to have something displayed only if the person logged in
has access to a particular queue or is a member of a specific group.

Basically:

 

% if ($UserIsMemberOfGroup("MyGroup") {

<& /Elements/MyElement &>

% }

 

Well, that's the general gist of what I want.  Any idea of what the
proper syntax is?

Thanks.
