I am looking to share information from Umbraco with another web site. To do this, the other web site must "ask" umbraco which nodes a specific member has access to.
So, I created an ASHX handler, which I call with username and password. In the ASHX, I validate the credentials and if correct, I have access to the umbraco member, using one of the two following ways:
Approach 1:
Dim ms As umbraco.Core.Services.MemberService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService Dim mbr1 As Member = ms.GetByUsername("username")
Approach 2:
Dim ms2 As New umbraco.Web.Security.MembershipHelper(umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current) Dim mbr2 As MemberPublishedContent = ms2.GetByUsername("username")
Now, assume I have a baseNode with id 1278.
Dim BaseNode As New Node(1278)
How can I check if my Member (mbr1 or mbr2) has access to BaseNode?
P.S.: All the approaches I have found so far require that the Member is logged in (via a cookie), the page is reloaded and the check is done by umbraco.library.HasAccess(Nd.Id, Nd.Path). Being a web service - handler, this is not an option. The check must be done in a single call.
I also assume that the answer is in ContentService, or in Umbraco.Library.
One lead that I followed was to use with the groups (making the assumption that we Groups -> MemberGroups). Umbraco.library provides a method umbraco.library.AllowedGroups(BaseNode.Id, BaseNode.Path) for the node.
The problem there is that I cannot fetch the groups that the member is in. There exists a property Groups in Umbraco.Core.Model.Member, but getting the member using umbraco.Core.Services.MemberService.GetByUsername("test") returns nothing (even when the user is part of several memberGroups.

Thank you in advance,

I don't actually know the answer but my gut is that it will be in the MembershipService. Or the ContentService.
What version of Umbraco are you using? :)

Hello Charlie.
I am using version 7.2.4.
I also assume that the answer is in ContentService, or in Umbraco.Library.
One lead that I followed was to use with the groups (making the assumption that we Groups -> MemberGroups). Umbraco.library provides a method
umbraco.library.AllowedGroups(BaseNode.Id, BaseNode.Path) for the node.
The problem there is that I cannot fetch the groups that the member is in. There exists a property Groups in Umbraco.Core.Model.Member, but getting the member using umbraco.Core.Services.MemberService.GetByUsername("test") returns nothing (even when the user is part of several memberGroups.
