About Node Permissions and Metadata.

Hi,

I'm decyphering EWS in Content Server 10.0.0 and need a little help here. Code follows with 2 major issues.

First I need to get the list of users and groups that have permissions over a node. There is a NodePermissions class but it only (that's my guess) shows permissions for the current user. How can you achieve this?

Second I'm retrieving metadata of the object, this will list categories associated to the object. I can list the metadata name and the identifier but cannot access the value (there are 3 fields in the DataValue object but there are only 2 get or set methods).

Thanks for your help.

Node node = dm.getNode(osb.getObjectId());

NodePermissions permissions = node.getPermissions();

Metadata metadata = node.getMetadata();

List<AttributeGroup> attributeGroups = metadata.getAttributeGroups();

for (Iterator<AttributeGroup> itAttrGroup = attributeGroups.iterator();itAttrGroup.hasNext();)

{

AttributeGroup attGroup = itAttrGroup.next();

System. out .println(attGroup.getDisplayName());

List<DataValue> dataValues = attGroup.getValues();

for (Iterator<DataValue> itDataValue = dataValues.iterator();itDataValue.hasNext();)

{

DataValue dV = itDataValue.next();

System. out .println(dV.getKey() + " : " + dV.getDescription());

}

First of all do you have : Edit permission on the object with the user running the code?

Yes, I'm using the Admin on my tests.

I'm running into the same problematic, have you found any solution yet ?

For permissions, you will want to use the Document Management service's GetNodeRights() method to get the list of users and groups permissions for a node. This will give you the Public Access, Owner, Owner Group, and any assigned ACL permissions for the node.

For the metadata/categories, you will have to cast the objects into the specific type to access its value. The list of values are all of type DataValue, but each specific value will be one of the child types, such as BooleanValue, IntegerValue, StringValue, etc. Once casted to the appropriate type you will have a method available to retrive the values.

Hope that helps.

And how can I set the specified permissions for a group for a node in detail, is there any tutorial for that ? ?

Because I have to remove all permisions for a node for a specified group !
