get and set permission of a container

Ani_mind

Is there a way I could get and set permissions of a container to a specific user through APIs?

Could you please advise me how do I move ahead here?

Yes, you can do this via the API. You need to get a few bits of information and then put them all together:

- get the container identifier (a guid)
- if user is in Active Directory, get the user SID (security id)
- if user is in LDAP, get the user's full DN (Distinguished Name)
- get the permission level to asssign (no access, list, read, change, full control)

Then you need to pass them all into the routine to set/add this permission on the container.

Let me know what version of MB you are running and which API (web service or COM/script model) and I can walk you through the calls.

Hi Matt,

I have a similar question, how do I assign/set users and groups (LADP) groups.

Example:

I have a folder called "Products" , all users of "marketing" and "web admin" need to be permitted to upload/delete etc the assets.

Where "marketing" and "web admin" are LDAP/Active Directory groups.

I am using JAVA web services and MediBin version is - 4.6.2

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Matt for the reply.

I am using MB 4.6.2 and webservice.

I could managed to get the containerID's which are at the root level.


MBContainerTreeNode treeNode = mMediaBinServer.getContainerTree( containerID, false, -1 );  
childNodes = treeNode.getMChildren();
String cID=null;
for(int i=0; i< nodes.length; i++)
{

  if( node != null )
  { 
   MBContainer container = node.getMContainer();
   ID=container.getMID();
  }

}

When i print container.getMPermission, is returning 'Full' for all the folder though i have only 'Change' permission.

also, i am not able to get any API to get a permission of a specific user.
Please suggest
