Laravel

BackendAuth::getUser()->groups;

Twig (Frontend Users)

{{ user.groups }}

Twig (Backend Users)

{{ backend.user.groups }}

This is not the correct code. Does anyone know what it is?

In the Code section of the page, you need to assign the current backend user to a variable, like this:

function onStart() {
    $this['user'] = BackendAuth::getUser();
}

Then, in your page markup, you can use the following to display all group names:

{% for group in user.groups %}
    {{ group.name }}
{% endfor %}

It works great. Thanks.

I have another quick question, how to verify which groups the Backend User is in, so I can use it in an If statement, instead of displaying in a text list.

My variable is:

$this['backend_user'] = BackendAuth::getUser();

First I tried to use:

{% if backend_user.groups.0.code == "moderators" %}

It works at first, but if the User is not part of a group, it will error Method name must be a string. If the User is part of multiple groups, you have to change the number 0 to match.

So I tried just seaching the groups array for a key:

{% if "moderators" in backend_user.groups | keys %}

This works, it finds "moderators" in the list, but is it the best way to do this?

The User model has a dedicated function for this purpose: public function inGroup($group)

Please note, that you need to pass a valid Group object to this function, not just a name.

I'm not using it right, not sure where to put or call the function.

use Auth;
use BackendAuth;
use Backend\Models\User;

if (BackendAuth::check()) {

    // get current backend user
    $backend_user = BackendAuth::getUser();

    // get current backend user's groups
    $backend_user_groups = Backend::getUser()->groups;

    // authenticate
    if ($backend_user->inGroup('administrators') {

    }
}

public function inGroup($group)
Call to a member function getKey() on string

I also try to use with twig

// single group
{% if inGroup('owners') %}
    You are in Owners group.
{% endif %}

// multiple groups
{% if inGroups(['owners', 'administrators', 'moderators']) %}
    You are in a Backend group.
{% endif %}

But I get error

Unknown "inGroup" function.
Unknown "inGroups" function.
