Setting permissions for groups

anwar — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 15:32:51 GMT

I am trying to give permission to add users to the system to a group of users, not only the admin user(s).My first naive attempt was the following:In the NewUserWizard, I noticed the following line:NodeRef newPerson = this.personService.createPerson(props);I then created a new group (as admin) using

I have done some more experimenting with this, and I have found another result which puzzles me.

Look at the following:

Set<String> authorities1 = authorityService.getAllAuthorities(AuthorityType.USER);‍

This set contains "auser1".

Set authorities2 = authorityService.getContainedAuthorities(null, "GROUP_admingroup", false);‍

This set contains "auser1".

Set authorities3 = authorityService.getContainingAuthorities(null, "auser1", false);
Set authorities4 = authorityService.getContainingAuthorities(null, "USER_auser1", false);‍‍

These sets are both empty!

How can it be that auser1 is contained within the authority admingroup, but admingroup is not one of auser1's containing authorities? It doesn't seem possible. What have I misunderstood?

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem in my program.
Problem is that it work in a previous version of my program.

I debug it with old and new version of my program (thanks on subversion…)
(Unfortunalty there are a lot of change between both version… so i take very long time to indentify the problem).

During debug, I remark that somethink is going wrong in lucene index !!!
But i'm not expert in lucene… i tried to debug it, but at moment I don't understand how it work.

I think it's a bug, but ??? :?

Here is the lucene query that work on the alf_data (see attached alf_data_working.zip file here: http://www.unbase.com/n/5353510982 😞
+TYPE:"{http://www.alfresco.org/model/user/1.0}authorityContainer" +@\{http\://www.alfresco.org/model/user/1.0\}members:'igrootadmin@circa"

Here is the lucente query that doesn't work on alf_data (see attached alf_data_not_working.zip file here: http://www.unbase.com/n/1332731458😞
+TYPE:"{http://www.alfresco.org/model/user/1.0}authorityContainer" +@\{http\://www.alfresco.org/model/user/1.0\}members:'circabc1admin@circa"

I'm bloked for some days in my work by this think, so if you knows what is going wrong, please help.

Thanks a lot for help.

Good news,

I found the origin of the bug.
I confirm that it is an Alfresco bug.
(I will open shortly an ticket for this bug)

I don't know what is exactly the bug in Alfresco but I know what is generating the bug: the username has DIGIT inside his name !!!

Try the same test without digit in the user name and you will not have the problem anymore !!!

I guess it is a bug with the way Alfresco index the username with Lucene (somethink binded with tokenizing of name value or somethink like that).

Hope this will help you to continue your work at moment.

I believe this is the same bug:
http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AWC-1157

Which has been fixed for the next release.

Thanks,

With same bad effect.

For info,
