Check user permissions by user id

Post by danieltj »

Is there a way to check a users permissions when it's not the currently authenticated user? I'm aware that I can do the following:

Code: Select all

$this->acl_get( 'u_hide_verified_badge' )
But this checks the currently authenticated user. I want to check a different user by ID and I'm not entirely sure if this is possible. I've checked the documentation but it only mentions passing a forum ID to the acl_get function.

I'm sure this is possible. I just don't know how to do it ;)

You'll need a user array of some sort. In the example below, $row is our user array.

Code: Select all

$auth2 = new \phpbb\auth\auth();
$auth2->acl($row);
$s_in_group = $auth2->acl_get('some_permission') ? true : false;
unset($auth2);
