topic Adding new permission Group, in an Alfresco module? in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/adding-new-permission-group-in-an-alfresco-module/m-p/253699#M206829 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I am developing an add-on module for Alfresco and I would like to add a new Permissions group, though I would like to avoid having to modify the permissionDefintions.xml file in the vanilla Alfresco installation. What I am wanting to do is add an 'Approver' permissions group that would include both contributor and editor, but include a 'approveContent' permission. This group should then be available in the returned list when I do permissionService.getSettablePermissions ( NodeRef ), where the NodeRef corresponds to a folder node.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Can anyone suggest the best way to go about this?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>In the meantime I did try adding my new permissionGroup in the permissionSet for "cm<img id="smileysurprised" class="emoticon emoticon-smileysurprised" src="https://connect.hyland.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-surprised.png" alt="Smiley Surprised" title="Smiley Surprised" />bject" and adding the permissionsGroup to the permissionSet for "cm:folder", but that did seem to do anything visible. I even tried adding a permissionSet corresponding to an aspect I defined, but that ended throwing a NulPointerException. I also looked at the following Wiki page, but I am still a little confused:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><A href="http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Security_and_Authentication#How_to_add_your_own_type_or_aspect.2C_assign_permissions_for_it.2C_configure_it_and_secure_a_service_that_uses_it_" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Security_and_Authentication#How_to_add_your_own_type_or_aspect.2C_assign_permissions_for_it.2C_configure_it_and_secure_a_service_that_uses_it_</A><SPAN>….</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 27 Jan 2011 23:18:53 GMT ajmas 2011-01-27T23:18:53Z Adding new permission Group, in an Alfresco module? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/adding-new-permission-group-in-an-alfresco-module/m-p/253699#M206829 I am developing an add-on module for Alfresco and I would like to add a new Permissions group, though I would like to avoid having to modify the permissionDefintions.xml file in the vanilla Alfresco installation.

I can create my own permission file adding the new permissionSet to associate with my role and then defining the permissionGroups and permissions in there. After that it is a question of creating a spring bean with parent "permissionModelBootstrap" and a model property pointing to my definitions file.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 01 Feb 2011 21:07:41 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/adding-new-permission-group-in-an-alfresco-module/m-p/253700#M206830 ajmas 2011-02-01T21:07:41Z
