RemoveAcl method can only remove direct aces,can't remove inherited aces.

Why do you want to remove inherited aces?

you can add some aces to this node to override ancestor's permissions.

If you really want to remove inherited aces ,you need to

1.You can get acl of this node using GetAcl method

2.iterate all aces in the returned acl and find all not direct(indirect ) ace

3.iterate this node's parent and remove indirect ace setted on ancestor.

Actually I am assigning and de-assigning permission from document. so removing permission i am using remove acl.

It seems it is a bug.

What version of your dotcmis are you using? and which binding are you using? what version of alfresco are you using?

Hi Kayne,

i am using latest version 5.0 of alfresco and accessing through atompub api.

using Dotcmis version frameword 3.5 and higher

Dictionary<string, string> parameters = new Dictionary<string, string>();

parameters[DotCMIS.SessionParameter.BindingType] = BindingType.AtomPub;

parameters[DotCMIS.SessionParameter.AtomPubUrl] = "http://server:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.0/atom/";

parameters[DotCMIS.SessionParameter.User] = UserName;

parameters[DotCMIS.SessionParameter.Password] = Password;

SessionFactory factory = SessionFactory.NewInstance();

ISession session = factory.GetRepositories(parameters)[0].CreateSession();

I have tested it on alfresco 5.0 and dotcims 0.7 using both following url

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.0/atom

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/atom

like you said ,RemoveAcl cann't remove aces correctly.

I'm also not sure now whether it is a bug of dotcmis or of alfresco.
