Thanks for the response

How to use the session and authenicate the current user is admin or whether the user belong to administrator group?

Because using the below code , it is giving NULL POINTER exception

ResourceResolver resourceResolver = resourceFactory.getAdministrativeResourceResolver(null);

Session session = resourceResolver.adaptTo(Session.class);

UserManager currentUser = resourceResolver.adaptTo(UserManager.class);

Please suggest some other code to resolve this issue

Thanks & Regards,

Ashwini

Make sure to user current user session

Session userSession = slingRequest.getResourceResolver().adaptTo(Session.class);
final UserManager userManager = slingRequest.getResourceResolver().adaptTo(UserManager.class);
final User user = (User) userManager.getAuthorizable(userSession.getUserID());
Boolean isadmin = user.isAdmin()

We have many AEM articles that show use of using a System user - ie - Scott's Digital Community: Querying Adobe Experience Manager 6.4 JCR data

That is your issue. You should be using a System user.
