Member Object

The Member object can represent any member of a web. To construct a Member object representing a particular member of a web call either of the following methods: getMemberFromEmail(email_string) or getMemberFromName(username_string). Both of these methods return a Member object instance.

Instance Properties

email	The member's email address. Read only.
name	The user's name. Read only.

Instance Methods

changeGroup	Changes a member's group.
isInGroup	Checks to see if a user is in a group.

The example below demonstrates instantiating a Member object and changing that member's group to "Administrator".

   
   webcall function memtest()
   {
   var m = Members.getMemberFromEmail("jane@DataWeb.com");

   //Check that returned object corresponds to member
   //of the web you were looking for. If so, change
   //permissions to that of "Administrator".
   if(m.name=="Jane")
   {
      if(m.isInGroup("Administrators"))
      {
         response.write("jane@DataWeb.com is
         already an Administrator.\n");
      }
      else
      {
         m.changeGroup("Administrators");
         response.write("jane@DataWeb.com is now an
            Administrator of your web.\n");
      }
   }
   else
   {
      //Check that the email given is web member.
      if(m.name == NULL)
         response.write("jane@DataWeb.com is not a member of the web.\n");
      else
         response.write("jane@DataWeb.com is not
         the email of the member of the web called Jane.\n");
   return;
   }
   }
