'Usage
Dim instance As Security

[SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Security/CheckUserGlobalPermission", RequestNamespace = "https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Security/", 
    ResponseNamespace = "https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Security/", 
    Use = SoapBindingUse.Literal, ParameterStyle = SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)]
public bool CheckUserGlobalPermission(
    Guid globalPermissionUid
)

Parameters

  • globalPermissionUid
    Type: System.Guid
    Specifies the unique identifier for a global permission.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
True if the current user has the permission; otherwise, false.

Remarks

To check multiple global permissions, use CheckUserGlobalPermissions for better performance. To check a security permission for another resource requires using impersonation to log on as that resource.

For the globalPermissionUids parameter, use the PSSecurityCategoryPermission structure to get the GUID value of a default global permission, or use ReadGlobalPermissions to get the GUID for a custom global permission.

. . .
CookieContainer cookiecontainer = new CookieContainer();
SecurityWebSvc.Security security = new SecurityWebSvc.Security();
security.Url = "https://ServerName/ProjectServerName/_vti_bin/psi/security.asmx";
security.CookieContainer = cookiecontainer;
security.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
