# Utilities

## RSC.HasAccess

```rust
RSC.HasAccess( ply: Entity, cb: function(bool) )
```

Checks if specified player can use screengrabber. Calls `cb` argument with boolean passed. Passes true if player have access, otherwise false.

{% hint style="warning" %}
On clientside this function only checks local player. Argument `ply` ignored.
{% endhint %}

## RSC.AsyncHasAccess

```rust
Promise<bool> RSC.AsyncHasAccess( ply: Entity )
```

Same as [RSC.HasAccess](#rsc.hasaccess). Instead of calling callback returns a [promise](https://github.com/dankmolot/gm_promise) that fulfilled with boolean.

## RSC.CanScreengrab

```rust
RSC.CanScreengrab( receiver: Entity, victim: Entity, cb: function(bool) )
```

Checks if specified receiver can screengrab victim. Calls `cb` argument with passed boolean. Passes true if receiver can screengrab victim.

## RSC.AsyncCanScreengrab

```rust
Promise<bool> RSC.AsyncCanScreengrab( receiver: Entity, victim: Entity )
```

Same as [RSC.CanScreengrab](#rsc.canscreengrab). Instead of calling callback returns a [promise](https://github.com/dankmolot/gm_promise) that fulfilled with boolean.

str, number RSC.ParseQuality( quality: number )
```
