SharePoint 2016 Hosting – How to Check If a User Has a Specific Permission Level in SharePoint 2016?

Security Management may be a prime concern in SharePoint, because the right content has to be served to the proper individuals with the adequate permissions. SharePoint recommends assigning role-based permissions. All the permissions are managed through the roles. Roles are classified in two sections:

Role Definition
Role Assignment

Role definition, additionally called a permission level, is that the list of permissions, related to the role. Full control, contribute, read, design, and limited access are some of the role definitions available.
Role assignment is the relationship established between users/groups and the role definition.

In this blog, let’s use JavaScript Object Model to examine if user has Full control Permission level in the web.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js"></script>  
 
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">  
 
$(document).ready(function() {  
SP.SOD.executeFunc('sp.js', 'SP.ClientContext', checkUserPermissions);  
});  
 
var oGroupColl,oWeb;  
function checkUserPermissions() {  
 
 
//Get the client context, web and current user object  
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();  
oWeb = clientContext.get_web();  
oCurrentUser = oWeb.get_currentUser();  
 
//Load the client context with the required objects  
clientContext.load(oWeb,'EffectiveBasePermissions')  
clientContext.load(oCurrentUser);  
 
//Execute the batch  
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(QuerySuccess, QueryFailure);  
}  
 
function QuerySuccess() {  
 
 
//Check if user has Full Control Permission Level  
var userName = oCurrentUser.get_loginName();  
console.log("Does the user has full permission in the web ? : "+oWeb.get_effectiveBasePermissions().has(SP.PermissionKind.manageWeb));  
}  
 
function QueryFailure(sender,args) {  
console.log('Request failed'+ args.get_message());  
}  
 
</script>

$(document).ready(function() {

SP.SOD.executeFunc('sp.js', 'SP.ClientContext', checkUserPermissions);

});

var oGroupColl,oWeb;

function checkUserPermissions() {

//Get the client context, web and current user object

var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();

oWeb = clientContext.get_web();

oCurrentUser = oWeb.get_currentUser();

//Load the client context with the required objects

clientContext.load(oWeb,'EffectiveBasePermissions')

clientContext.load(oCurrentUser);

//Execute the batch

clientContext.executeQueryAsync(QuerySuccess, QueryFailure);

}

function QuerySuccess() {

//Check if user has Full Control Permission Level

var userName = oCurrentUser.get_loginName();

console.log("Does the user has full permission in the web ? : "+oWeb.get_effectiveBasePermissions().has(SP.PermissionKind.manageWeb));

}

function QueryFailure(sender,args) {

console.log('Request failed'+ args.get_message());

}

</script>

Now we can add the above code in the Content Editor Web Part to see it in action.

Specify the URL of the text file containing the JSOM Code in the content link field.

Upon clicking “Apply”, we will get the output in the console, as shown below.
