I have to admit to being a newbie as far as Drupal development goes. I normally work on cor accessibility.</div><div><br></div><div>As far as user_access() I see that it can accept a user object, but that it also needs me to pass a permission to check. What permission would I be checking to see if the current system path can be accessed? This is why menu_get_item() seemed more appropriate. It would be nice if there was a function like menu_get_item() that accepted the user object like user_access() does. Perhaps I'll ad an issue as a feature request for d8 if this doesn't already exist in some hidden corner of d6.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,<br><div>
