Very Urgent need help on adding group to acl using DFS

Hi,

I am trying to add the group "test_group_grp" into the acl "collab_communities_acl", both are been created already using da. but need to achieve this using automated process, so trying to achieve using DFS. I am are using DFS C# for coding. the following is the code which i am using to achieve my requiremnt.

                       AclIdentity aclIdentity = new AclIdentity();
                       aclIdentity.RepositoryName = "repository_name";
                       aclIdentity.Domain = "dmadmin";
                       aclIdentity.Name = "Collab_Communitites_ACL";

accessControlService =
                serviceFactory.GetRemoteService<IAccessControlService>(serviceContext, "core", dfs.DfsUrl);
                       List<AclIdentity> idList = new List<AclIdentity>();

                       idList.Add(aclIdentity);

                       AclPackage aclPackage = accessControlService.Get(idList);
                       AclEntry aclEntry = new AclEntry();
                       aclEntry.Accessor = "test_group_grp";
                       Permission basicDeletePermission = new Permission();
                       basicDeletePermission.Name = Permission.DELETE;
                       basicDeletePermission.Type = PermissionType.BASIC;
                       aclEntry.AccessType = AccessType.PERMIT;
                       List<Permission> permissionList = new List<Permission>();
                       permissionList.Add(basicDeletePermission);
                       aclEntry.Permissions = permissionList;
                       Acl acl = new Acl();
                       acl.Entries.Add(aclEntry);
                       aclPackage.Acls.Add(acl);

accessControlService.Update(aclPackage);

I am getting and message saying ACL update is not happening.

I am able to add the group into acl now. but if i hardcode the group name its working fine like this in above code " aclEntry.Accessor = "test_group_grp" ";

I am trying to creating acl, group name dynamically and then i am adding this group into the acl.

"aclEntry.Accessor = groupName; "

groupName will have the dynamic value.

Then the question becomes how to get the group name? It depends on your scenario on how you know the group name. If you want to pick up from a group collection, then you may need to execute a QueryService. Other services that may help are: UserManagementService, ObjectService.
