Forum Post: Finding the session_id

Hello,

Within the API I’m trying to determine whether the logged on user has the permission to use a template.

In previous versions this was fairly straightforward because you just call HasPermissionGb method.

To make this work you’d pass this the person_id of the user who was logged in.  In version 15 there appears to be some different logic.  I think instead of passing the person_id that method now only works if it’s passed the session_id.
My question is this – how can I derive the session_id from the api object ?

TIA

Andy.
