Hi Jahweh,

This is achieved by groups; You will have to create groups with certain rights... create 3 groups for instance, Edit, Delete, Add, now assign the users with permissions to either one, two or three all of the three groups.

From here it is now simple:

<?php
// IF false it will look up current logged in user.
$logged_in_user_id = false;

// The id of the edit group you create, 10 is just an example.
$edit_group_id = 10;

if ($this->user->belongsToGroup($logged_in_user_id, $edit_group_id)) {
    // Can edit code and add edit buttons etc...
}

?>

Ok, so far so good.
But how can predetermine the group that she is wearing exactly this ID?

example:
install the plugin ..
-> Install menu ..
-> Install groups (with the correct id's)??
...

You cant in 3.0.4, in 3.0.5 (soon to be released) on the other hand it will allow you to call a group by alias meaning you give the group an alias and do this for instance...

// IF false it will look up current logged in user.
$logged_in_user_id = false;

// The id of the edit group you create, 10 is just an example.
$edit_group_id = null;

$edit_group_alias = 'edit';

if ($this->user->belongsToGroup($logged_in_user_id, $edit_group_id, $edit_group_alias)) {
    // Can edit code and add edit buttons etc...
}
