getPermissions() problem

tgmweb

Hi,

I have a web script - and I'm using getPermissions() to return the permissions for a node. However, the returned values don't specify whether permissions are set explicity or whether they've been inherited.

So - if I have a node where 2 groups have access through inheritance, and 2 have access explicitly - there's no way to tell when I get my output which of these groups have explicit permissions.

If I try to remove a group that is inheriting - would it remove them at the lowest level, or give them DENY on the node?

no - it throws an error! (Can not delete from this acl in a node context SHARED)

In that case, I presume I need to give them deny manually. However, I can't see DENY/ALLOW referenced anywhere in the JavaScript API other than within the getPermissions() method!!!

hi ,
I'm trying to write a webscript in order to apply permissions to a node.
In particular i am trying to setpermission on a node to "DENIED" but am unable to do this.

i can remove permissions …

noderef.removePermission("Editor",<username>);‍

and set permissions….

noderef.setPermission("Editor", <username>);‍

this sets the permission to "ALLOW"

but i cant' set the permission to "DENIED"
i have however noticed that the java class allows a boolean to be passed as the final parameter to setPermissions
eg.

noderef.setPermission("Editor",<username>,true) ‍

. How do I do this in a webscript ?

It is my understanding that you only "ALLOW" permission to users or groups. My guess is that that it the node is inheriting permissions and you want to deny only a particular user or group. If this is the case I think the approach you should be taking is..

nodeRef.setInheritsPermissions(false);   // Do not inherit permissions
noderef.setPermission("Editor", <username>);    // Specify user/group permissions‍‍

Good Luck
