Hi,

I never used it myself but the SiteService have the following method:


**
     * List the members of the site.  This includes both users and groups.
     * <p>
     * Name and role filters are optional and if not specified all the members of the site are returned.
     * 
     * @param shortName     site short name
     * @param nameFilter    name filter
     * @param roleFilter    role filter
     * @param size          max results size crop if >0
     * @return Map<String, String>  the authority name and their role
     */
    @NotAuditable
    Map<String, String> listMembers(String shortName, String nameFilter, String roleFilter, int size);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Looks like with the right role filter (e.g. SiteModel.SITE_MANAGER), and the right name filter, you'd just have to check if the returned map is empty.

Hi Scouil,

thank you for your answer. But I am actually think on roles (permissions) that user have on specific space (folder) under the Share site (not on site membership roles).
So If we create Share site and using Manage Permissions action on site's folder we can delete all Locally Set Permissions and just to say that EVERYBODY are Consumers on that site. After that on site's documentLibrary folder we can user the same action and to add authorities and to give them specific permissions (for example: Collaborator, Contributor…). So my question is how I can find which permissions/roles user have on specific space in repository using Java API?

Thanks,
Nenad

Sorry my bad I read too fast and read site instead of space.

Then please try this. I haven't double checked personally but found this in a piece of old code and simplified it a bit to only match the part of interest to you:


Set<AccessPermission> allPermissions = permissionService.getAllSetPermissions(myNodeRef);

        for (AccessPermission ap : allPermissions)
        {
            if (ap.getPermission().equals(PermissionService.COORDINATOR))
            {
                //is coordinator
            }
        }
