Determining the access level of a Lotus Notes user using Formula language

How do I determine the current access level of a user using LotusScript? Thanks in advance.

One way is to cheat and use Formula language:

Dim result as variant
Result=Evaluate("@UserAccess")

This is the most direct method you can use. If you need more detail, however, such as whether the authenticated user has access to delete documents, you may need to access the Lotus Notes database's NotesACL object.
