Hi all!I'm using alfresco-community-tomcat-2.9.0B on linux…In a Workflow that I've created I want to send a copy of the file to the reviewer homeFolder.So I do something like this:…<action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript"> <script> var reviewerSpace = rev

Hi!! My problem is getting BIGGER…
I didn't pay attention to permissions (I did tests with admin) and now i don't know what to do…
I have a lot of scrips, not only in workflows, that need to crate a space or move/copy documents from one place to another… I can't figure out how to give, via script, permissions to the current user to perform these operations… and, in the end, remove that permissions…
Here's one more example:

myscript.js


var noderef = args["noderef"];
var doc = search.findNode(noderef);
docName=doc.name;
var currentUserName = person.properties["cm:userName"];

companyhome.setPermission("CreateChildren",currentUserName);

var myNewSpace = companyhome.childByNamePath("MySpace");

if (myNewSpace == null && companyhome.hasPermission("CreateChildren"))
{
   myNewSpace = companyhome.createFolder("MySpace");
}

var docExist = myNewSpace.childByNamePath(docName);

if (docExist == null)
{
   var mv = doc.move(myNewSpace);
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I'm getting this ERROR:


org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: Error during command servlet processing: Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.
caused by: org.alfresco.repo.security.permissions.AccessDeniedException: Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.
caused by: net.sf.acegisecurity.AccessDeniedException: Access Denied
‍‍‍‍‍

With admin user everything works fine, of course…
Anyone?!
Thanks again!!

To do this

companyhome.setPermission("CreateChildren",currentUserName);

the current user need to have "ChangePermissions" permission on the current space, which in this case is Company Home. Which might explain why your code is failing.

Don't know what version of code you are using, but you'll need this functionality: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ENH-229. The post lists work arounds for what you are trying to do.

Hi zaizi!!
Thank you for your fast answer!!! …
I'm not quite follow this:

Now you can use an optional runas attribute on the <authentication> element to declare who the script should be run as. E.g.
<authentication runas="otheruser">user</authentication>

I'm mixed with the user/otheruser… and where do i put this to make the desired effect?! … :s
I'm executing my script like this:

web-client-config-custom.xml


<config>
   <actions>
      <action id="myScript">
         <label>Move File …</label>
         <image>/images/icons/myImage.gif</image>
         <script>/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/myscript.js</script>
         <params>
            <param name="noderef">#{actionContext.nodeRef}</param>
         </params>
      </action>
   </actions>
</config>

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="my:type">
   <actions>
      <action-group id="document_browse_menu">
         <action idref="myScript" />
      </action-group>
   </actions>
</config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Can I figure out with this my version code: Version: Community Network - v2.9.0 (B 683) …
Thanks again…
