Hi Dushyanth,

There is currently no REST API available to modify the permissions on a node.

Modifying permissions and other management tasks won't be available soon in the CS REST API. We're implementing scenarios View and Contribute at first; reading, creating and modifying data. The scenario Manage comes as the third. Permission management could be given a higher priority if needed, though.

Hi Ferdinand,

Any news on the Manage scenario? Are any updates coming soon?

Thanks,

The CS 16 is going to be released in a month with the updated REST API. However, I am sorry to say, that there is still no resource to modify the (user) node rights.

If you need to develop some custom REST API resources for your application, you could consider implementing this in your module too.

If your application performs more management tasks, you could consider using the CWS instead of the CS REST API. There is DocumentManagement.setNodeRights(id, rights) available there:
