Hi all,

I am new to user management  in alfresco and i am working on alfresco SDK.

i have created a new user group in alfresco sdk using the following code

AuthorityService authorityService=serviceRegistry.getAuthorityService();
authorityService.createAuthority(AuthorityType.GROUP, null, "Ajay_Group_NEW");

my question is now i want to delete  user group  "Ajay_Group_NEW"  using SDK?

i have tried with 2 options 
1.authorityService.removeAuthority(null, "Ajay_Group_NEW");
2. authorityService.deleteAuthority("Ajay_Group_NEW");

both are not working

what is the option? pls help

Hi,

Try this.

authorityService.deleteAuthority(authorityService.getName(AuthorityType.GROUP,"Ajay_Group_NEW"));

This is because, internally all group names are prefixed by GROUP_ and best way is to call getName and then delete the authority like above.
This way even if the prefix is changed your code will not break.

Best Regards,
