DescribeSObject to determine access

Hi,

 

What is the best way of using DescribeSObjectResult to determine if a  user has access to a custom object ?

Is it that the DescribeSObject call will fail or will I get some kind of  DescribeSObjectResult which I have to play around with to determine if the user has access?

 

thanks,

Odie

if the user doesn't have read access, then the object name won't appear in the describeGlobal results, and a call to describeSObject will return an error.
