How to get permission of current user in servlet?

Hi friends,

In my AEM, I created some user groups (ex: my-group-1, my-group-2, my-group-3, my-group-4, etc). So, I create some users (ex: my-user-1, my-user-2, my-user-3) and add the user into some groups. Example:

my-user-1 in groups: my-group-1 , my-group-2, my-group-3

my-user-2 in groups: my-group-2 , my-group-3

Now, I want to create a Servlet to get all group of the current user that have a permission. Example, when I login to AEM with my-user-1. I will get a result with (my-group-1 , my-group-2, my-group-3). If I login to AEM with my-user-2, I will get a result with (my-group-2 , my-group-3).

How to do that?

Please, help me with a simple servlet.

Thank you so much,

BienHV

You can use UserManager API ( UserManager (Apache Jackrabbit 2.12.9 API) ) for working with user and groups
Here is example of servlet in which UserManager API has used .

Hi,

did you check the code which I shared?

you can easily get user group from user

Example :

User currentUser = request.getResourceResolver().adaptTo(User.class);

Iterator<Group> currentUserGroups = currentUser.memberOf();

while (currentUserGroups.hasNext()) {

Group grp = (Group) currentUserGroups.next();

groupName = grp.getID();

hmap.put("groupName", groupName);

}

Thanks
