Hey,

I have setup a test account with no writing permissions.

When I update an account nothing happends and there is no error message, how can I check if the user is allowed to update an account object?

Sample code:

try {
  reportToZoom(null);
  System.debug('update start');
  update acct;
  System.debug('update end');
} catch (DMLException e) {
  System.debug('exception: ' + e);
  ApexPages.addMessages(e);
}

The logs had this (nothing regarding permissions...):
