Getting a list of privileged users...

I'm running a script that grabs a list of users from our LDAP directory and synchronizes group memberships and permissions. Currently, I use code similar to this, to get a list of members:

--snip--
my $currentUser = GetCurrentUser();
my $workingUser = new RT::User($currentUser);
my $systemUser = RT::User->new($RT::SystemUser);

# RT Group
$groupObj = new RT::Group($currentUser);
$groupObj->LoadUserDefinedGroup($groupName);

if ( not $groupObj->Id() )
{
print "Group ".$groupName." not found in RequestTracker\n";
next;
}

# Get our members into an array for easy work later.
$groupMembersObj = $groupObj->MembersObj();
my @rtMembers;
while ( $groupMember = $groupMembersObj->Next() )
{
$groupMemberUser = $groupMember->UserObj();
$workingUser->Load($groupMember->MemberId());
$workingUser->Name();
push(@rtMembers, $workingUser->Name());
}
--snip--

Basically, I load a group by name, and then loop through the array and grab each user into an array. Is there a way I can do this for privileged user names? I just want to get them into an array to work with them later.

Thanks,
Johnathan

those two lines are useless, $currentUser and $RT::SystemUser are
already objects, $workingUser and $systemUser are just empty users
objects

there is different way to do this, it depends on the final purpose, but
the simplest way to get all priviledged users is:

my $PrivilegedUsers = RT::Users->new ( $RT::SystemUser );
$PrivilegedUsers->LimitToPrivileged;

the walk this with:

while ( my $PrivilegedUser = $PrivilegedUsers->Next ) {
...things to do with user object $PrivilegedUser
}
