ISearchableContentType and Group Members

Question

Hi

I created my custom searchable content type and implemented GetViewSecurityRoles method:

public int[] GetViewSecurityRoles(Guid contentId)
{
    try
    {
        var content = _roadTestItemService.Get(contentId);
        RoadTestItemApplication app = (RoadTestItemApplication)content.Application;

        IRoles roles = Apis.Get<IRoles>();
        
        List<int?> list = new List<int?>();
        foreach (var role in roles.List(content.ApplicationId, RoadTestConstants.PermissionItemView))
            list.Add(role.Id);
        
        int?[] array = list.Intersect(roles.List(content.Application.Container.ContainerId, (Guid)GroupPermission.ReadGroup)
            .Select(groupRole => groupRole.Id).ToArray()).ToArray();
        
        return array.Select(roleId => Convert.ToInt32(roleId)).ToArray();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        ExceptionHelper.Handle(e);
        return Array.Empty<int>();
    }
}

As you can see it returns roleIds from security roles list.

But group members also may have an access to content ant this approach does not work in this case.

How can I implement group members support?

When you are added as the member of a group, you are added to the Members role for that group. When you list which roles have view permissions for the application or read permission in that group, the group's Members role will be included in that list. So that code above should already account for group members.
