[php] what usergroup can see a contentobject?

If this can be of any help to others, I came up with the following code:
It definitively could need some improvement, but works for me. If anyone knows a better way, please feel free to post it here.

Once the section of the contentobect has been determined with

$contentobject->attribute( 'section_id' );

you can then check if the section ID is contained in the array returned by this method:

	/* for a given array of user or group contentobject_id, 
	return an array of the Section IDs this user or group has access to.
	TBD: does not take class-level access restrictions per sections into account */

	function getSectionsByUserIDArray( $userID_array )
	{
		$accessPolicies = eZRole::accessArrayByUserID( $userID_array );

		$sectionsByUserID = array();
		foreach ( $accessPolicies['content']['read'] as $key => $ap ) {
			foreach( $ap as $k => $sections ) {
				if ( strtolower($k)=="section") {
					foreach ( $sections as $s) {
						$sectionsByUserID[]=$s;
					}
				}
			}
		}
		$sectionsByUserID=array_unique($sectionsByUserID);
		return $sectionsByUserID;
	}
