Detecting ACL Modifications in Nuxeo

Zakariyaa — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 09:04:34 GMT

Hello,

I would like to know how to detect modifications to ACLs (Access Control Lists) in Nuxeo. Are there any native mechanisms, specific events, or best practices to monitor and log these changes in real time?

Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Out of the box, Nuxeo adds an audit log entry to track Document Permissions modification. Have a look at the "History" tab, and filter for "Rights modified" to see them.

If you want to implement something custom when a permission is changed, you can implement a custom Java Event listener listening to "documentSecurityUpdated"

There are events that can be used in this context e.g.:

You can of course create an event listener using Automation in addition to Java customization.
