CSSDK : Branches that a user has access to

Hi Community,

I am trying to fetch a list of branches on which, a user/CSClient has access to using CSSDK. Till now, i havent had any luck. Any pointers are welcome.

csclient.getRoot().getAllPermissionInfo(CSUser user, CSVPath vpath)

will give you an array of the vpaths (always branches) to which the user has at least one assigned role (whether directly or via group membership). You can then loop through that array and check

csbranch.getWorkareasForUser(CSUser user, boolean recurse)

to futher validate that the user has access to at least one workarea in that branch.

Edit:
You'll probably want to exclude the iwconfig branches from that array, if you're using TeamSite's localization framework. That first call is the equivalent of this CLT call:

iwaccess all-permission-entries-of-user <user>

Just at first glance, you can loop through your branches and execute CSBranch.getRoles(CSUser) in a loop through all your users. I'm not sure what that really gets you but it's something and you may be able to get more info from there. When you say "access", what do you really mean?

Thank you for the pointers.

@Smitty - what i am really trying to do is this:
1) Query Teamsite Search engine for a list of indexed branches
2) Trying to figure out a logic by which i can check if the use has access to those branches or not? ---I am stuck here...
3) display the list of branches to the user for a custom UI search.

Sorry for not making my intent clearer earlier. Perhaps this problem statement would invite more ideas.

......are you still stuck?

Hi Rick, thank you for pointing out the useful api methods. I have been able to get a handle on the Workarea Vpaths using the said logic.
