can't remove inherited permissions

[bprager]

This topic seems to come up quite frequently and I am having troubles with this as well.

The parent folder is accessible for EVERYONE. When I upload documents (via CMIS API) I check the inherited permissions and want to remove them, so I can make this particular document readable to only selected users. This doesn't seem to work.

Here is my code snippet:

         doc = repoFolder.createDocument(properties, contentStream, VersioningState.NONE);

         OperationContext operationContext = new OperationContextImpl();
         operationContext.setIncludeAcls(true);
         CmisObject object = session.getObject(doc.getId(), operationContext);
         Acl originalAcl = object.getAcl(); 
         
         List<Ace> remAces = originalAcl.getAces();
         object.removeAcl(remAces, AclPropagation.OBJECTONLY);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

After this line the document is still readable by EVERYONE. Is there a way around this in Java?

Thank you for any help.

You cannot remove inherited ACEs from the ACL of an object and you cannot break ACL inheritance for an object using CMIS.

You can  turn  off inherited ACEs from parent for that node by using webscript api
