Joomla Check If User Exists In Group
2200 Views
This tutorial will check if the user exists in a group in Joomla and return true.
We must first get the user object for the currently logged in user.
//get logged in user $user = JFactory::getUser();
Now that we have the user object we can check to see if they belong to the group that we require
$group_id = 3;//This is the group we are checking. You can get this from the group backend in the admin if(in_array($group_id, $user->getAuthorisedGroups())) { //The user is in this group echo 'Found! The user belongs to this group'; }else{ echo 'The user does not belong to this group'; }
As you can see, it is really easy to check if the user belongs to a group in Joomla. Leave a comment 🙂
