I have a use case where I want to test if a user has a particular resource assigned to him. I am using below code but it returns false, even if the user has that resource.

public static boolean isUserGrantedResource()
{
  String resource = "RESOURCE_NAME";
  boolean userHasPermission = false;
  try
  {
    String resourceType = "ResourceType";
    String action = "launch";

    SecurityContext securityCtx =
      ADFContext.getCurrent().getSecurityContext();
    ResourcePermission resourcePermission =
    new ResourcePermission(resourceType, resource, action);
    userHasPermission = securityCtx.hasPermission(resourcePermission);
  }
  catch (Exception e)
  {
    //TODO
  }
  return userHasPermission;
}

Any help will be appreciated.

You're hiding any exceptions you might be getting. Are you getting an error? – Steve Smith Mar 01 '17 at 10:39
No, I am not getting any error or exception. It is just returning false from this line userHasPermission = securityCtx.hasPermission(resourcePermission); – dream_world Mar 01 '17 at 10:47
Just to clarify, how do you know you're not getting an error? Have you stepped through the code? – Steve Smith Mar 01 '17 at 11:04
Yes.. I tried debugging the code and found the same. – dream_world Mar 01 '17 at 12:43
