View permissions to a document, list item, library or a list

Question

I want to view the permissions set to a document, list item, library and a list ,I know there is option of Manage permissions for documents and list items where all the users and groups with the permsisions they have are listed,and there is document library permissions where the users and groups with their permissions are listed  but I want to staple a feature to the document or list item such that upon clicking that all the users with their permission should be shown(not groups that is the only difference I want in my custom feature from the one that is already existing), what is the easiest way to do it?

Thanks,

Very well. Thats an interesting requirement you got. 

You can add a  button on ribbon control to a item or to a library. On click of the button, you can open a pop-up where you can display the permissions set for the item or the library.

to know to add controls on ribbon for a list or to an item follow the link.

The above link talks about how to add a control on ribbon when item is in edit form. Follow the link for a clear understanding of ribbon controls and how to work with them.

So once you are able to add a control, on click pass the current item ID and the library name to another page as query string parameters and open the page as a pop-up.

There you can write the code to read the item and its library to read the permissions. I guess you can handle how to read the permissions. Else let know.

Thanks.

Hey Shrawn here is the code to read the different Role Assignments and their roles on list.

 using (SPSite site = new SPSite("Site Url"))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                {
                    SPList list = web.Lists["document Library Name"];
                    
                    foreach (SPRoleAssignment assignment in list.RoleAssignments)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine(assignment.Member.LoginName);
                        foreach (SPRoleDefinition roleDef in assignment.RoleDefinitionBindings)
                        {
                            Console.Write("--" + roleDef.Name);
                        }
                        Console.WriteLine("");
                    }
                }
            }

And here is the code to read the permissions on a list item.

using (SPSite site = new SPSite("site url"))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                {
                    SPList list = web.Lists["list name"];
                    SPListItem item = list.GetItemById(id);
                    
                    foreach (SPRoleAssignment assignment in item.RoleAssignments)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine(assignment.Member.LoginName);
                        foreach (SPRoleDefinition roleDef in assignment.RoleDefinitionBindings)
                        {
                            Console.Write("--" + roleDef.Name);
                        }
                        Console.WriteLine("");
                    }
                }
            }

Hope that helps.
