Hello, I’m a (french) beginner at the MODx CMS and I’m trying to write a snippet.
My problem is that I don’t know how finding the group that the user have the right.
I’ve found this : $modx->getUserDocGroups(2) but I don’t know how use it.

Is it possible that someone learn me how get the rights and show them with "echo ..." for example ?

thanks wink

--- Edit ---
My real objective is to restrict some parts of my snippet using the user group rights

I hope you still need the solution:

<?php

$logged_in_user_id = $modx->getLoginUserID();

if(isUserInGroup($logged_in_user_id, 'GroupName'))
{
	//user is part of a GroupName webgroup...code goes here
}
else
{
	//user is not part of a GroupName webgroup
}

function isUserInGroup($user_id, $webgroup_name)
{
    $sql='SELECT COUNT(*) FROM modx_web_groups INNER JOIN modx_webgroup_names ON modx_web_groups.webgroup=modx_webgroup_names WHERE modx_web_groups.webuser='.$user_id.' AND modx_webgroup_names.name=\''.$webgroup_name.'\'';
	$rs = $modx->db->query($sql);
	
	return mysql_num_rows($rs);
}

?>

What you’re looking for is the isMemberOfWebGroup API Function.

The getUserDocGroups function returns ALL the document groups that the current logged in user is assigned to.
