Admin Users

An application can test whether the currently signed-in user is a registered administrator for the application. An administrator is a user who can access the Administration Console for the application. You can use the Administration Console to manage which users have administrator status.

The function UserService::isCurrentUserAdmin() returns True if the current user is an administrator for the application.

  use google\appengine\api\users\User; 
 

  $user = UserService::getCurrentUser(); 
 if (isset($user) && UserService::isCurrentUserAdmin()) { 
 return 'Welcome administrator.'; 
 } 
 return 'You are not an administrator.'; 
 

Tip: An easy way to restrict access to a part of your application to administrators is to use the login: admin configuration element for the URL handler. See Configuring an App .
