[Building Sakai] Permissions Exception user modifying 'myworkspace' programmatically

[David Wafula]

Soon after posting this, i did solve the problem. The problem was i was
getting a wrong userid...so i used the following line:


 String userid = userDirectoryService.getCurrentUser().getId();

instead of

 String userid = userDirectoryService.getUserByEid(staffNumber).getId();


That worked.
Thanks.
