Hello,

The short answer is no. CMIS doesnt support Group Management.

If you want to implement it, you have to use webscript from Alfresco REST API

Hi,

Thank you very much for your information. my half of the confusion was gone.

Instead of Webscripts can i use Alfresco Websrvices API( Alfresco stated that it is not recommended).
Why i am asking this is if i use webservices we can use struts framework and communicate with repository using Webservices. From this my development will be faster because i do not need to learn again Spring surf and Webscript etc…

Or I should use only webscript instead of Webservices API(because of not recommended by Alfresco).

Could you please help me to get out of this confusion..? If i got cleared this doubt i have to start the development immediately. Plzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks,
Srini.

You can consume RESTful web scripts from anything that can speak HTTP. So feel free to use struts to make calls on web scripts. Web services is not unique in this regard.

Hi all,

I have the same question - how CMIS can manage Users and Groups in Alfresco.
I see this topic is a bit old (2012 year), that is why maybe new updates for CMIS 1.1 are available… and which include this possibility (I mean managing users and groups in Alfresco 4.*)?
