Check if user has replicate rights through java code

[AliSyed1]

Hello guys, How to check if user has replicate rights using java. I found an Interface named AccessControlManager but it don't have any method or property to check replicate privilege of the user.

you have to get the user groups - ie. what are the Groups the user has assigned (like admin, content-authors, template-editor) etc.

Based on the Group privileges / Permissions, you can find the user replicate access or not.Find the group.

If you want to explicitly find only Replicate try like this:

AccessControlManager acm = session.getAccessControlManager();
Privilege[] publishPrivileges = acm.privilegesFromNames(new String[]{"crx:replicate"});

To find user assigned groups and privileges :

public void getUserPrivileges(String userId) throws LoginException, RepositoryException {
    ResourceResolver resolver = resourceResolverFactory.getServiceResourceResolver(null);
    Session session = resolver.adaptTo(Session.class);
    UserManager userManager = resolver.adaptTo(UserManager.class);
    User user = (User) userManager.getAuthorizable(userId);

    // Retrieve user groups
    Iterator<Group> groups = user.memberOf();
    while (groups.hasNext()) {
        Group group = groups.next();
        System.out.println("User is a member of group: " + group.getID());
    }

    // Retrieve user privileges
    AccessControlManager acm = session.getAccessControlManager();
    Privilege[] privileges = acm.getPrivileges(user.getPath());
    for (Privilege privilege : privileges) {
        System.out.println("User has privilege: " + privilege.getName());
    }
}
