User Permissions

[snodejoke]

I'm looking at a service to create a group, then a category for only members of that group.

The user who called the service will also become moderator of the category & it won't be visible to members outside of the group.

I'm using 'privileges.categories.give' to give the group permissions, but I'm struggling with issuing the privileges to a specific user. I've tried using the same function with UID, but no luck

Does anyone have any pointers for this?

Thanks.

Nobody has any ideas?

@julianlam / @psychobunny, maybe you have a suggestion for this?

I'm stumped

Look at the function Categories.setPrivilege in src/socket.io/admin/categories

You need to add the uid of the user to a specific privilege group with.

groups.join('cid:3:privileges:read', uidOfUser, callback);

Thanks a lot @baris.

I'll investigate this route.
