Search files via Lucene & filter results by User Permission

junieboy

Hi,

I'm working on the search capability using Alfresco's Lucene search API through web services, mainly searching files using metadata (aspects defined in a custom dynamic model). Is it possible to restrict your query/search results with the permissions of the user to the file/space?

We don't want the users seeing the files they don't have access/permission to in the Lucene search results. Hope someone could point me on the approach. Thanks.

Regards

This is the default behaviour, search is evaluated using the permissions for the logged in user.

Hi Loftux,

What if I am using a generic account to authenticate? Is there a way to leverage this kind of behaviour? Assuming I have a web application which uses the Alfresco web services API (Lucene Search) in the backend but the account used to authenticate to Alfresco is a generic account. Thanks.

Is it possible to run this class with the web services API? Thanks in advance!
