Message from Christopher Meyer via eLinkThe LAPI function you need to use is "SetObjectRight".-----Original Message-----From: eLink Discussion: LAPI Discussion[mailto:lapi@elinkkc.opentext.com] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 10:43 PMTo: eLink RecipientSubject: LAPI method to remove users and groups from ACLLAPI method to remove users and groups from ACL Posted by Komawar,Pranjali on 10/25/2007 04:34 PMDoes anybody knows what is the method to remove the unwanted users andgroups from the Access List of Livelink folders and then add new groups?Please assist.Thanks in advance.

As Christopher said, the function SetObjectRight is the one to go with. Just some additional notes:Afaik bulk changes, e.g. remove a list of unwanted principals from the ACL, is not possible. You have to add/update/delete permissions for each individual principal.Please take care of the special ACL entries for system, owner,owner-group, and world. E.g. it is no good idea to add an additional ACL entry for the user who is the owner of a document/folder/whatever. Also you should avoid to delete the ACL entry for "world", instead update it to "no permissions".
