Imports System
Imports Microsoft.SharePoint
Module Test
Sub Main()
Using site As SPSite = New SPSite("https://localhost")
Using web As SPWeb = site.OpenWeb()
' Make sure the current user can enumerate permissions.
If web.DoesUserHavePermissions(SPBasePermissions.EnumeratePermissions) Then
' Specify the permission to check.
Dim permissionToCheck As SPBasePermissions = SPBasePermissions.ManageLists
Console.WriteLine("The following users have {0} permission:", permissionToCheck)
' Check the permissions of users who are explicitly assigned permissions.
Dim users As SPUserCollection = web.Users
Dim user As SPUser
For Each user In users
Dim login As String = user.LoginName
If web.DoesUserHavePermissions(login, permissionToCheck) Then
Console.WriteLine(login)
End If
