Is there a way to flatten a Try?

Try {
            when (accessChecker.loggedInUserHasAccess()) {
                true -> Try.just(Unit)
                false -> Try.raise(FeatureAccessDeniedException("No access for feature"))
            }
        }

Or is better to just throw the error in the false branch. Note that accessChecker.loggedInUser... can also throw an exception.

Try {
            when (accessChecker.loggedInUserHasAccess()) {
                true -> Unit
                false -> throw FeatureAccessDeniedException("No access for feature")
            }
        }

you could do:

Try {
            when (accessChecker.loggedInUserHasAccess()) {
                true -> Try.just(Unit)
                false -> Try.raise(FeatureAccessDeniedException("No access for feature"))
            }
        }.flatMap { it }

i.e. add flatMap { it }

Good point! I think I'll just throw the exception within the Try block, it looks slightly cleaner.
