[RESOLVED] How to set node permission using c# Web Service?

I believe my question is easy but I don't find any answer to my problem: I made the C# code to insert folders, documents, versions consuming Web Service.

Now... how to set node permission using Web Service? How do I make sure that the user or group called "Marketing&Comunication" (for example) can only see, or modify etc. .. a folder or a document?

public void SetDocumentPermission(string path, string groupName){    string[] aFullPath = path.Split("\\".ToCharArray());    DocManSvc.Node existingNd = prxDocmanSvc.GetNodeByPath(ref prxDocManAuthSvc, this.rootNd.ID, aFullPath);    MemberSvc.Member newOwnerMeber = prxMemberSvc.GetGroupByName(ref prxMemberAuthSvc, groupName);    ///and now?}Thanks in advance

Take a look at the AddNodeRight(), SetNodeRights(), and UpdateNodeRights() calls from the DocumentManagement service.

I've already checked the AddNodeRight() method: it uses a parameter of type "NodeRight". This is just the permission type(AddVersion, DeleteVersion etc...) and not the group or user to whom to give these permissions. How do I indicate the group/ user?

Jason_Smith

The NodeRight object contains 3 attributes:

1) Permissions - This represents the various permissions (ie. see, see contents, modify, etc.).

2) RightID - this represents the ID of the user or group (here is where you specify the user / group ID).

3) Type - the permissions type (one of "Owner", "OwnerGroup", "Public", or "ACL").

Perfect! RightID ! This is the key

I try!

Thankyou!

hi J,

with LAPI, one can set the permissions with integer value e.g.

DOCUMENTS.SetObjectRight(VolumeID, Convert.ToInt32(folderId), LAPI_DOCUMENTS.RIGHT_ADD, groupId, Convert.ToInt32(permissions), 0);

but with web service, it's all boolean now e.g. AddItemsPermission, how do they mapped?

Thanks

Yu_Kevin

also with the LAPI Document.SetObjectRight call, which right does it set? the web service return object now have classificaiton. group the rights into OwnerGroupRight, OwnerRight, PublicRight, ACLRight.

Yu_Kevin

does the web service SetNodeRights automatically resovle all rights for a given node? e.g. if the right exist, then update, if not then add, if missing then delete?

You will see the way that I call NodeRights in this snippet
