Need help with rule (script) to set document as read only

Scorpios — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 18:34:26 GMT

I have a document that goes through various reviews and then when the final review is approved I want to set the permisions of the document to read-only. I have the rule calling my javascript code and it works for administrators but does not work for normal (non-admin) users. Normal users when the rule runs I see this error in the log:

Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.

Is there a way for a nomal user to be able to set the permissions of the document to read-only

or in the script give them elevated privlidges temporarlity to set the permisions.

This is my code fragment:

// Set the Permission we want

// Alfrseco Admins Delete

// Everyone Read-Only

document.setPermission("Delete", "GROUP_ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS");

document.setPermission("Read", "GROUP_EVERYONE");

// Stop inherting permissions

document.setInheritsPermissions(false);

Thank You

It's tricky, but you can do something similar to:

>> From JavaScript (server side)

Thank you I saw that article and the one that it referred to also.

The code looks straight foward.

What I didn't see what where to put the Java file and where to put the XML files.

From https://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/tasks/ext-file-config.html

I think I know where the XML file would go.

Still looking for where the Java file would go.

I think I found where the XML file would go from this page

You have to use customization for that.

Please use sdk for customization.
