GetSecurityInfo("PermissionGranted")

If "PermissionGranted" is specified as the first parameter, GetSecurityInfo returns whether the user has a specific security permission (TRUE/FALSE), given a permission name. Security permissions are defined on the Permissions tab of the Security dialog.

Syntax

GetSecurityInfo("PermissionGranted", "PermissionName", "UserName","Domain")

Parameter	Description
PermissionGranted	Use the code `PermissionGranted` to return the user's security permission status.
PermissionName	The name of the permission to check. See the following table for specific values.
UserName	Optional. The name of the user or role for which to return the security information. If omitted, the current user is assumed.
Domain	Optional. The Active Directory domain of the user. The domain property only applies to users that have been imported from Active Directory. Manually created users do not have a value for domain. You might be required to specify a domain to identify the correct user if users have been imported from multiple Active Directory domains and have the same user name. If all user names are unique across domains, then it is not necessary to specify the domain.

The parameter PermissionName takes the following values:

This example returns "TRUE" if the current user has the Scheduled Jobs User permission.

This example returns "FALSE" if user Jdoe does not have the Scheduled Jobs User permission.
