How do I find out the current user permissions has for an object?

[daphan]

Hello,

We need to find out the current user's permissions (SEE, SEECONTENTS...) to a particular object. I tried this method

String query = "subType = " + API_DOCUMENTS.DOCUMENTSUBTYPE;
int intContentId = new Integer(contentId).intValue();
int mysSrchQuery =
doc.ListObjects(entInfo.toInteger ("VolumeID"), objectID, null, query, LAPI_DOCUMENTS.PERM_SEECONTENTS,
llQueryResults);

if (mysSrchQuery == 0)
iCnt = llQueryResults.size();
else
iCnt = 0;

But this does not seem to work. What did I do wrong? Please advise.

Thank you for all your help.

I may be wrong but I read that API as give me all the objects that are of DOCUMENTSUBTYPE under this container,and by the way I am interested only in the objects to which I have the "PERMMASK" supplied.

I would think that if you were interested in the permissions applied to each object ,I would do a list objects or traverse it somehow and do a GetObjectRights
for each object.

Don't really know that much about this call.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?
