[Catalyst] check_user_roles [ $user ], @roles ?

[Jens Schwarz]

Hi *,

in my Catalyst app I use $c->check_user_roles(qw/Admin/) to determine, if the currently logged in user is part of the Admin role. Works fine.

Now I want to check if _another_ (currently _not_ logged in user) is part of the Admin role. I read the documentation of Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::Roles and found that check_user_roles can optionally take $user as additional parameter. But it does not work as I suspected: With ...

$c->log->info(">> " . $c->check_user_roles( "some_other_user" , qw/Admin/ ));

... Catalyst debug just gives me ...

[debug] Role denied: some_other_user, Admin
[info] >>

... where I expected something like ...

[info] >> 1

"some_other_user" is a username string, in the column "username" of my user table. myapp/myapp.conf ist setup accordingly (i.e.: user_class myapp::user and id_field username).

What am I doing wrong?
