WordPress XML-RPC, How can I get user role or know if a user is able to publish posts?

March 5, 20231 Views

I need to check user permissions through XMLRPC to know if is able to publish posts.

I checked several XMLRPC methods without success, the new getUsers from WordPress 3.5 seems ideal but I need to support older versions.

How can I validate the user can publish posts?

Thank you!

If you’re using 3.5, it looks like it added a function for this: getUser.
You’ll want to check in the ‘roles’ return value.
