Admin Permissions

I'll come right out and ask specifically about Admin Permissions.

I'm having a huge issue with getting mine to work. I'm sure it is due to me being a Super Admin but I'm trying to figure out why the following codes won't work.

PHP:
$canManage = $visitor->hasAdminPermission('xfpoints_manage_points');

PHP:
$canManage = $visitor->hasAdminPermission('xfPoints', 'xfpoints_manage_points');

I have double checked the permission group ID and permission ID.

Trying to use it in admin templates and I really hope it is because I'm a Super Admin, which I'm going to test now.
 
1. your second code can't work, look at the arguments....
2. why not just open the method to see what it's doing.....

PHP:
  /**
    * Determines if the current user has the specified admin permission.
    *
    * @param string $permissionId
    *
    * @return boolean
    */
   public function hasAdminPermission($permissionId)
   {
     if (empty($this->_user['user_id']) || empty($this->_user['is_admin']))
     {
       return false;
     }

     if ($this->isSuperAdmin())
     {
       return true;
     }

     if (!is_array($this->_adminPermissions))
     {
       $this->_adminPermissions = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_Admin')->getAdminPermissionCacheForUser(
         $this->_user['user_id']
       );
     }
     return !empty($this->_adminPermissions[$permissionId]);
   }
 
Because I have been down that road. The problem is neither are working and I added these options but no method to keep users from bypassing by just entering the address directly.
 
I just add preDispatch checks in my Admin Controllers.

PHP:
    protected function _preDispatch($action)
    {
        $this->assertAdminPermission('manageAddonName');
    }
 
I have the preDispatch but never understood it but I think I do.

Can I do this?
PHP:
protected function _preDispatch($action)
{
  $this->assertAdminPermission('xfpoints_manage_points');
  $this->assertAdminPermission('xfpoints_gift_points');
}
