API for "Has Rights" to Object Id

Hi All.

There must be a DFS API call to detemine if a user has rights to access a given Object Id for a document. What would that call be? Where would I find documentation on it and other similar calls?

Thanks!

In DFC, I believe there is getPermit() and getPermitEx() for an object. These methods should give you what you are looking assuming you have at least BROWSE permissions on the object. Obviously, if you have NONE permissions, you wont be able to instantiate the object to execute these methods.

Is there a DFS document where I can research these commands more completely?

(By the way, thanks for your quick response!)

Hi,

You could do it with QueryService:

select r_object_id,_permit,_xpermit,_xpermit_names from dm_sysobject where r_object_id='your_object_id'

Look at object reference manual for these computed columns.

No. You can't use computed attributes in DQL. Computed attributes (starting with _) are computed by DFC when requested.

You can try to include the attribute _permit when you request the object using ObjectService. Whether it will work or not will depend on how the ObjectService is implemented.
