How to get authorities set certain permission

Hi,

I'm currently looking at indexing out entitlements information to an external index.  Looking at the permission service I do not see a way of easily access the FULL set of inherited and explicitly set permissions on a node.

I'm working with Alfresco 3.3.1E right now, future versions we will evaluate shortly are 4.0.2E.  All I see on the later version is

public NodePermissionEntry getSetPermissions(NodeRef nodeRef)‍

in the PermissionServiceSPI.

Is there a way that I can fetch the full set of entitlements for the node from an API or existing method (that may be hidden)?  Alternatively is there a way I can see which authorities have READ rights on a node.

Thanks
Jamen

Hi,
you can use 

Set<AccessPermission> org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.PermissionService.getAllSetPermissions(NodeRef arg0)
@Auditable(parameters={"nodeRef"})
‍‍‍

which gives you all set permission on a node.
Then iterating on the set

for(AccessPermission permission : permissionList) {
   String authority = permission.getAuthority();
   String role = permission.getPermission();
   AccessStatus access = permission.getAccessStatus();
   if (permission.isInherited())
        System.out.println(access.toString() + ";" + authority + ";" + role + ");
   else
       …
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

you can get all information you need.

Regards,
Andrea
