The setPermission function is working good like this : </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&lt;blockcode&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>node.setPermission("permission", "GROUP_groupname");</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&lt;/blockcode&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>But i need to remove all the old permissions on all the nodes too, so before setting new permissions, i try to erase all the old ones thank to removePermission, without user or group parameter, as explained in the documentation : </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&lt;blockcode&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>node.removePermission("permission");</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&lt;/blockcode&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>But it's not working. I used another method which is working good :</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&lt;blockcode&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>var permissions = ["Collaborator", "Contributor", "Consumer", "Editor", "Coordinator", "Read"];</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>var groups = ["GROUP_groupe1", "GROUP_groupe2", "GROUP_groupe3", "GROUP_groupe4", "GROUP_groupe5"];</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>for(var z= 0; z &lt; permissions.length; z++)</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>{</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for(var w= 0; w &lt; groups.length; w++)</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;node.removePermission(permissions[z],groups[w]);</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>}</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&lt;/blockcode&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>But i need to understand. I think i miss understood this function. For me, using removePermission without precising a group or user, erase ALL the permission selected for all the users or groups in the selected node. Am I right ? </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Does someone can explain to me please ?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Anthony</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 17 Jul 2015 10:25:09 GMT antho_c 2015-07-17T10:25:09Z Function removePermission javascript https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/function-removepermission-javascript/m-p/291520#M244650 Hello,I need to change permissions on all my nodes using a script.
