Examples

Check User Permission Before Import

This example checks if the current user has permission to import new users. If they do, the function will proceed with the import; if not, it will stop.

if (check_import_new_users()) {
  import_new_users($user_data); // imports new users if permission is granted
} else {
  stop_import(); // stops the import process if permission is denied
}

Display a Custom Message

You can also use this function to display a custom message based on the user’s permissions.

if (check_import_new_users()) {
  echo "Start importing new users...";
} else {
  echo "You need permission to import new users.";
}

Handle Permissions in a Function

Here’s an example of how you might handle permissions within a function.

function handle_user_import() {
  if (!check_import_new_users()) {
    return "You do not have permission.";
  }

  // import new users
}

Use in a Conditional

This function can be used as a condition in a control statement.

if (check_import_new_users()) {
  // Perform actions related to importing users
} else {
  // Perform other actions
}

Redirect User Based on Permission

This example uses the function to check permission and then redirects the user based on the result.

if (!check_import_new_users()) {
  header('Location: /no_permission_page');
  exit;
}

// Continue with user import
