Enable/Disable Logic for a new Inline Action Command

Dirk_Schuermann

I have successfully added a new inline action command. The visibility is supposed to be based on the "Modify" permission for the selected  object. There is a code fragment in the "Rename" sample using node.get('perm_modify') . This does not work; the node object does not have the corresponding attribute. I checked the underlying REST APIs which are available for nodes. Obviously they do not return permission info.

Now I'm thinking about an alternative approach: I want to use a RecordsManagement property to implement the logic.

Question: Can I acccess RecordsManagement properties? Is there an example?

Hi Dirk,

There is a Records Management Rest API here: https://developer.opentext.com/awd/resources/apis/records-management-v1 Does this give you the property you're looking for? 

If you have WebReports you could also look at the /output API here: https://developer.opentext.com/awd/resources/apis/content-server-v2#!/webreports This allows you to return custom JSON from a WebReport.This could be used in conjunction with the PERMCHECK sub-tag to return JSON including a boolean for each node in the table if it meets the required permissions level. It could also be used to do an RM lookup using the various RM tags.

Does the custom inline action have a server-side component? I think typically the permissions check is done in the oscript relating to the CSNode Action object for the custom action. The permitted actions are then returned from the /nodes/{id} or /nodes/{id}/actions APIs.
