Detecting Default Admin
20 September 2010 at 9:48pm
Hi,
I can detect the user with Member::currentUser(), I wonder is there a way of detecting if the user that is returned is actually logged in or if it is the default admin that has been set in the _config (Security::setDefaultAdmin('Admin', 'Admin')) instead?

Admins are usualy in their own group. You can check that with inGroup() of the class Member.

Or use Permission::check('ADMIN'); to check for any admin rights on the current member.

Hi guys,
thanks for the answers although they have both slightly missed the mark... I'll explain a little more... if I have the following in _config.php...
Security::setDefaultAdmin('Admin', 'Admin');
and within "Security -> Security Groups -> Administrators" the user...
Swaiba - Swaiba - swaiba@swaiba.com - Swaiba
Either way if I login with Admin / Admin or Swaiba / Swaiba I will return true to being an administrator and the member DataObject returned will be the same.
What I am asking is can I tell that one user logged in the with the user/pass from the secrutiy system (Swaiba / Swaiba) or whether they have logged in using the default admin stuff (Admin / Admin)

I´m not the most experienced SS developer, but afaik the default admin is a admin like any other admin. With a dev/build the default admin gets his entry in the databases member table. Like this you can´t tell the default admin directly from an admin registered via the backend. There is one little differnce: A default admin has no Surname/Name. Maybe you can validate if those attributes are set or not.

No worries, I'd prefer not to rely on the name being 'Default Admin' and there being no surname as if this user is not there the defaultAdmin in _config will use an existing user.
Any other ideas? willr?
