Hi,
I see that there is a REST API call to edit a message, but I can't find any way using the REST API to detect if the user can edit the message. Where can I find that?
Hey Mark,
Have you tried the edit allowed api? http://community.lithium.com/t5/Community-API/bd-p/developers-rest-api?leaf-id=Message.edit.allowed#Message.edit.allowed
Hope this helps,
Yuri
Hi Mark
not sure on your specific use case - but you may be able to use the coreNode object - and the permissions.hasPermission method
permissions.hasPermission("permission_identifier")
Edit any post: update_message Edit own posts: update_own_message
Hope this helps,
Thanks, but that doesn't mean they can edit every message. There are settings that only allow roles to edit posts within X minutes from the post date.
Use case is that I don't want the feature to edit the message to appear if they can't really edit it. It'd be a bad user experience to have that enabled, let them author the update and then have it fail when the user attempts to save the update.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
