TRUE if access is allowed, FALSE otherwise.

Description

This function makes it possible to find out if the current user has access (read, edit, create, remove, etc.) to a given content object or a content node. The optional parameters "contentclass_id" and "parent_content_class_id" can be used to finetune the checking. These parameters are compatible with both class ID numbers and class identifier strings. The function supports checking for the following access methods:

• bookmark
• create
• edit
• move
• read
• remove
• pdf
• restore
• translate
• versionread

When checking "create" access and the "contentclass_id" is not specified, the function will return TRUE as long as there is a create access for the given object. However, the user could still not be allowed to create a specific class.
