php: How to programmatically get permissions of group?

    My application requires that I be able to programmatically check what categories of posts a user can edit. I have user groups set up that give “Specific Permissions” to users within the groups for certain categories. I see in the developer information that I can use pp_get_groups_for_user to figure out what groups the user is a part of and then I can pass that group ID to pp_get_group to get a data structure that contains some group information, but I can’t see a way to inspect the specific permissions the group gives its members.

    Is there a PHP function I can call to get the Specific Permissions of a permission group?

    It seems that the Specific Permissions are called “Exceptions” in the code, so I was able to find the ppc_get_exceptions() function. Using this, I was able to extract the specific category permission:

       ?$args = array();
? ? $args['agent_id'] = $pp_group;
? ? $args['agent_type'] = "pp_group";
? ? $args['operations'] = 'edit';
? ? $args['for_item_source'] = 'post';
? ? $args['via_item_source'] = 'term';
? ? $args['taxonomies'] = 'category';
? ? $exc_arr = ppc_get_exceptions( $args );
? ? return $exc_arr["edit_post"]["term"]["category"]["include"]["post"][""][0];
