Syntax

<Result> = HInfoViewRights(<Connection> , <User/Group> , <Rights> , <Database> , <View> [, <Display mode>])

<Result>: Character string

Requested information,
Empty string ("") if an error occurred.
"Unknown user" or "Unknown group" if the current user does not have the rights to see the users (hRightsSeeUser constant) and if he wants to get information about another user or another group.
In hDefault mode, <Result> is a list of values separated by tabulations (TAB). Each value found in this list corresponds to the rights requested by <Rights>. Each value found in this list can correspond to one of the following constants:
hAllowed The relevant rights are granted to the user or to the group.
hForbidden The relevant rights are not granted to the user or to the group.
hInherit The user belongs to at least one group to which the relevant rights was granted.
This constant is returned only if the display mode is not set to hEffective.

In hDetails mode, <Result> is a list of values with the following format::

<Relevant rights 1> + TAB + <Value of rights1> + CR + ...
<Relevant rights N> + TAB + <Value of rights N> + CR

The rights correspond to the constants used in the <Rights> parameter and the values of the rights correspond to the hAllowed, hForbidden or hInherited constant (see the above table).

<Connection>: Character string (with or without quotes) or Connection variable

Connection for which the rights of a user or group of users must be known. This connection corresponds to:
the name of the connection defined in the data model editor or with HDescribeConnection or HOpenConnection.
a Connection variable.

<User/Group>: Character string (with quotes)

Name of the user or name of the group whose rights are requested.

<Rights>: Integer constant (or combination of constants)

List of rights to find:
hRightsInsert Rights to add new records into a view.
hRightsChangeRights Rights to change the rights.
hRightsRead Rights to read the records of a view.
hRightsMaintenance Rights to start a re-index operation or a statistical calculation on a materialized view.
hRightsUpdate Rights to modify the records of a view.
hRightsDelete Rights to delete the records from a view.
hRightsDeleteView Rights to delete a view.
hRightsAll List of all the rights.
We recommend that you use this constant in hDetails or hEffective + hDetails display mode.

<Database>: Character string (with quotes)

Name of the database containing the SQL or materialized view for which the rights are requested. If the database corresponds to the database defined in the connection, this parameter can correspond to an empty string (""). A WLanguage error occurs if no database is defined in the connection and if this parameter corresponds to an empty string.

<View>: Character string (with quotes)

Name of the SQL view or materialized view found on the server for which the rights are requested.

<Display mode>: Optional Integer constant

Mode for displaying the result:
hDefault
(Default value) The rights returned do not take the inherited rights into account (rights granted to the groups to which the user belongs).
If no rights were defined, the value will be set to hInherit.
<Result> contains the values of the requested rights (in the same order).
hDetails Same as hDefault.
<Result> contains the rights and its value.
hEffective The rights returned correspond to the rights that will be actually granted to the user or to the group on the view. The inherited rights are taken into account (rights granted to the groups to which the user belongs for example).
hEffective + hDetails Same as hEffective.
<Result> contains the rights and its value.
