Liferay - is user Site Owner?

Question

I am working on one feature in Liferay 6 and I want it, to be accessible only for Site Owner. I have big problem how to get if user is Site Owner. I can get if user is Administrator using this

if (RoleServiceUtil.hasUserRole(user.getUserId(), companyId,
                "Administrator", true)) {
   //do something
}

When I use Site Owner instead of Administrator, then I get this message Site Owner is not a regular role

Thanks for help

The simplest way is to use permissionChecker.

First you'll need to include the a TagLib like so:

<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/theme" prefix="liferay-theme" %>

Then you can place some basic variables on the page (one of which is permissionChecker) like so:

<liferay-theme:defineObjects />

Then you can simply call,

permissionChecker.isGroupOwner() or permissionChecker.isGroupAdmin()
