CF8 IsUserInAnyRole function

In CF8, a new function was added, IsUserInAnyRole()

Description: Determines whether the logged in user belongs to any Role.

 

Returns: True, if the logged in user, belongs to any Role; False, otherwise.

 

Syntax:

 

IsUserInAnyRole(param1, param2, param3...)

 

Usage:
The function "isUserInAnyRole" takes a comma separated list as input. This can be a single parameter also. 
The result will be an OR function on the list of roles.  The role names are not case-sensitive.

To check if a user is in multiple roles, specify them in a comma-delimited list, such as "admin,user1,user2"

Examples

 

<cfoutput>isUserInAnyRole("admin")? #isUserInAnyRole("admin")#</cfoutput><br><br>

            This will return true if the current logged in user has "admin" roles.

 

<cfoutput>isUserInAnyRole("admin,user1,user2")? #isUserInAnyRole("admin,user1,user2")#</cfoutput><br><br>

            This will return true if the current logged in user has "any" of the three roles "admin, user1, user2" roles.
