GetSubwebsForCurrentUser does not check Root site

Question

Hi,
I am trying to check if logged-in user has permissions to site. I have used the "getSubwebsForCurrentUser", but it does not check the Parent site and only checks for subsites. What am I missing?
My current code is as below:
function sharePointReady() {
clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
web = clientContext.get_site().get_web();
_currentUser = clientContext.get_web().get_currentUser();
webCollection = web.getSubwebsForCurrentUser(null);
clientContext.load(webCollection);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onWebsLoaded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function onWebsLoaded(sender, args) {
var webEnumerator = webCollection.getEnumerator();
while (webEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var web = webEnumerator.get_current();
olist = web.get_lists().getByTitle("Pages");
clientContext.load(olist);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(onRequestListSucceeded, onRequestListFailed);
I have also tried the "web" variable as
web = clientContext.get_site().get_rootWeb();
How to fix this?
Thanks

Hi,
The SP.Web.getSubwebsForCurrentUser Method returns the collection of child sites of the current site.

If you want to check permission for current application scope, we can use
SP.Web.getUserEffectivePermissions Method to achieve it.
