Asked By: Loren Roberson Date: Mar 08, 2003 Category: Sharepoint Views: 207

Is there not even a single person in our group who has worked on
authorization/authentication in SPS 2003???

If someone knows anything about this please help me. it is very urgent...

the problem is the webpart developed by me to crawl all the WSS sites and get
the latest announcements in them works fine for me because i am the
AdmInistrator. But if a user who does not have rights to some of the WSS sites
tries opening the page containing the webpart, the login dialog is popped and is
denied access. To avoid this all i need to do Is find out the list of WSS sites
that the current user has access to.

if you want to iterate through each site for the current user , you can use the GetSubwebsForCurrentUser method of the SPWeb class.

After you just have to test the List.BaseType property and so on ...

Answer #2 Answered By: Kendrick Townsend Answered On: Mar 08, 2003

This method GetSubwebsForCurrentUser always returns an SPWebCollection object
immaterial of the user having rights or not. But when i try to access the
webCollection.Count it raises an exception., i.e.

the condition if ( !webCollection ) or if ( webCollection!=null ) evaluates to
true.

but if you try to do a webCollection.Count it throws an exception.

So how do i check if the SPWebCollection object is usable or not?
