Click to expand...

A user can be in multiple groups, so you need to ask the question:
Is the user in the Admin (or whatever) group?
rather than
Which group is the user in?

Function IsUserInGroup(strUser As String, strGroup As String) As Boolean
Dim varDummy As Variant
On Error Resume Next
varDummy = DBEngine(0).Users(strUser).Groups(strGroup).Name
IsUserInGroup = (Err.Number = 0)
End Function
 
You can try,

Public Sub EnumUserGroups(strUser As String)
' Enumerate the groups a specific user belongs to

Dim wrk As DAO.Workspace
Dim varGroup As Variant

Set wrk = DBEngine(0)

Debug.Print "Groups to which user '" & strUser & "' belongs..."
For Each varGroup In wrk.Users(strUser).Groups
Debug.Print vbTab & varGroup.Name
Next varGroup

Set wrk = Nothing
End Sub
