Does node_load check security through organics group?

Question

Question: if I use the node_load api to read nodes on which there is an organics group, does Drupal check if I am a member of the authorized group?

Thanks

Short answer is no. Following the rabbit hole you can check the source code of node_load here, which basically is just a call to node_load_multiple, which in turn is a call to entity_load - which actually loads the node.

Security should be implemented prior to this call, when defining which nodes to load, not when loading the nodes.

Hope this helps!
