Role x Has Permissions for Functions

Was wondering if there is a gadget, or existing view in the admin console that shows Role x has the following permissions.

I know I can navigate to the "Permissions for Fucntions" view, but this shows a giant containing all of the permissions available.

I am looking for something that can show: The role Customer_Support_Analyst has the following permissions

started looking into implementing a gadget and discovered the table tblUserPermission which contains most of the information I am looking for, but does not contain the friednly description of the role.

For Instance, in the Permissions for functions screen you can see "Allows access to create catalog meta classes - (catalog:admin:meta:cls:mng:create)" but the tblUserPermission table only contains catalog:admin:meta:cls:mng:create.

That is actually a localization part, not the part of the data itself.

Quan, thanks for your response.

So is it possible to fetch this information from Epi's internal Localization?

"admin/permissiontype/group/<permission group name, in your example, EpiCommerce>/permissions/<the permission without the : delimiter, in your example, catalogadminmetaclsmngcreate>" would give you the path to translation

Ah Interesting.

I tried the following and i am receiving an empty string for each:

var permission = LocalizationService.Current.GetString("admin/permissiontype/group/epicommerce/permissions/catalogadminmetaclsmngcreate");

var permission = LocalizationService.Current.GetString("/admin/permissiontype/group/epicommerce/permissions/catalogadminmetaclsmngcreate");

var permission = LocalizationService.Current.GetString("/episerver/admin/permissiontype/group/epicommerce/permissions/catalogadminmetaclsmngcreate");

Sorry, it should have been groups, instead of group

Thanks Quan Mai, this ticket can be closed!

The line that worked is:

var permission = LocalizationService.Current.GetString("/admin/permissiontype/groups/epicommerce/permissions/catalogadminmetaclsmngcreate")

Quan Mai,

I found a few instances where the translation returns ""

For instance, the below returns ""

LocalizationService.Current.GetString("/admin/permissiontype/groups/epicommerce/permissions/contentsitemngview")

was wondering if instead of epicommerce maybe epicms ?

It is the group name, in case of cms yes it should be epicms (actually I'm not sure, check your db, you should see it there)

Look into tblUserPermission. I think it's EPiServerCMS
