In System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you can check for object permissions using the UserHasPermissions Method in Class SMS_RbacSecuredObject.

Important
The SMS_SecuredObject Server WMI Class contains a list of available permissions.

To check if a user has permissions for an object

  1. Create a dictionary object to pass object name and permissions to check for to the UserHasPermissions Method in Class SMS_RbacSecuredObject.

  2. Call the UserHasPermissions Method in Class SMS_RbacSecuredObject, passing in the dictionary object.

  3. The method returns true, if the user has the permissions.

Example

The following example checks to see if the user has the indicated permissions:

C#  Copy Code 
public static bool UserHasPermissions(ConnectionManagerBase connectionManager, string objectName, int permissions, out int currentPermissions)
{
	if (connectionManager == null)
	{
		throw new ArgumentNullException("connectionManager");
}

	if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(objectName) == true)
	{
		throw new ArgumentException("The parameter 'objectName' cannot be null or an empty string", "objectName");
}

	IResultObject outParams = null;

	try
	{
		Dictionary<string, object> inParams = new Dictionary<string, object>();
		inParams["ObjectPath"] = objectName;
		inParams["Permissions"] = permissions;

		outParams = connectionManager.ExecuteMethod("SMS_RbacSecuredObject", "UserHasPermissions", inParams);

	 if (outParams != null)
	 {
			currentPermissions = outParams["Permissions"].IntegerValue;

			return outParams["ReturnValue"].BooleanValue;
	}
}
	finally
	{
		if (outParams != null)
		{
			outParams.Dispose();
	}
}

	currentPermissions = 0;

	return false;
}
