[nareshvy]

Hi , 

In my site all user require Collaborative role actually its consumer , so i added a configuration like this 

<permissionSet type="st:site" expose="selected">

<permissionGroup name="SiteManager" allowFullControl="true" expose="true" />

<permissionGroup name="SiteCollaborator" allowFullControl="false" expose="true">
<includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="Collaborator" type="cm:cmobject" />
</permissionGroup>

<permissionGroup name="SiteContributor" allowFullControl="false" expose="true">
<includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="Contributor" type="cm:cmobject" />
</permissionGroup>

<permissionGroup name="SiteConsumer" allowFullControl="false" expose="true">
<includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="Collaborator" type="cm:cmobject" />
</permissionGroup>

<permissionGroup name="SiteCommentator" allowFullControl="false" expose="true">
<includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="Consumer" type="cm:cmobject" />
<includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="ReadPermissions" type="sys:base" />
</permissionGroup>

</permissionSet>

in  alfresco-community\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\sitePermissionDefinitions.xml

but its still access denied for some operations.

or if there is any other way, please let me know with sample codes

Thank you

Your sitePermissionDefinitions.xml is not an invalid xml file

Caused by: org.dom4j.DocumentException: Error on line 6 of document : Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence. Nested exception: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.

Thank you I fixed the issue...

please provide sample code for create a group and assign user to the group using java related

[kaynezhang]

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpStatus;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthScope;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.StringRequestEntity;
import org.json.JSONObject;

public static void main(String[] args) {
WebScriptExample exmple = new WebScriptExample();
HttpClient client = exmple.getHttpClient();

exmple.addGroupOrUserToGroup(client);
}

private void addGroupOrUserToGroup(HttpClient client) {
String apiurl ="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/api/groups/{parent group name}/children/{user name or sub group name}";
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(apiurl);
try {

post.setDoAuthentication(true);
post.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

int status = client.executeMethod(post);
if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
System.err.println("Method failed: " + post.getStatusLine());
}
String resultString = post.getResponseBodyAsString();
System.out.println(resultString);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
post.releaseConnection();
}
}

private HttpClient getHttpClient() {
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.getState().setCredentials(
new AuthScope("localhost", 8080, "Alfresco"),
new UsernamePasswordCredentials("admin", "admin"));
return client;
}

Please note that if add sub group ,it's name should be prefix with GROUP_

for example add a sub group named subGroup1 to parent group named parentGroup,you url should be 

String apiurl ="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/api/groups/parentGroup/children/GROUP_subGroup1 ";

Thank you,I am trying  this example, but i got this errors

Method failed: HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed

Web Script Status 405 - Method Not Allowed

Script url /api/groups/CBGroupTest does not support the method POST

the url: String apiurl = "http://127.0.0.1:8090/alfresco/s/api/groups/CBGroupTest";

I gave like this.

[kaynezhang]

Your url is not complete :

if you want to add an user to group CBGroupTest,the url should be like this

String apiurl = "http://127.0.0.1:8090/alfresco/s/api/groups/CBGroupTest/children/{userName}";

if you want to add an subgroup to group CBGroupTest,the url should be like this

String apiurl = "http://127.0.0.1:8090/alfresco/s/api/groups/CBGroupTest/children/{GROUP_groupName}";

[nareshvy]

thank you kayne,

I trying to create group ,once then later while creating user i have to add user to group , this is my scenario,

now i am trying to create group.

String apiurl = "http://127.0.0.1:8090/alfresco/s/api/groups/CBGroupTest/children/Group_CBGroupTest";

right now no user to that group

so its getting error 

"The group :CBGroupTest, does not exist.

[kaynezhang]

If you want to add sub group(CBGroupTest) to a parent group (CBGroupTest) , parent group CBGroupTest should exist.

Ifyou want to add root group please use 

   String apiurl ="http://localhost:8090/alfresco/s/api/rootgroups/{your root group name}";

[nareshvy]

thank you kayne

getting error

private void addGroupOrUserToGroup(HttpClient client) throws JSONException {
String apiurl = "http://127.0.0.1:8090/alfresco/s/api/rootgroups/CBGroup";
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(apiurl);
try {
post.setDoAuthentication(true);
post.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
int status = client.executeMethod(post);
if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
System.err.println("Method failed: " + post.getStatusLine());
}
String resultString = post.getResponseBodyAsString();
System.out.println(resultString);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
post.releaseConnection();
}
}

"status" :
{
code" : 500,
"name" : "Internal Error",
"description" : "An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request."
},

[kaynezhang]

Try to add following line in bold to your code

private void addGroupOrUserToGroup(HttpClient client) throws JSONException {
String apiurl = "http://127.0.0.1:8090/alfresco/s/api/rootgroups/CBGroup";
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(apiurl);
try {
JSONObject body = new JSONObject();
body.put("displayName", "CBGroup");

post.setDoAuthentication(true);
post.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
post.setRequestEntity(new StringRequestEntity(body.toString(),"application/json", "UTF-8"));
int status = client.executeMethod(post);
if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
System.err.println("Method failed: " + post.getStatusLine());
}
String resultString = post.getResponseBodyAsString();
System.out.println(resultString);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
post.releaseConnection();
}
}
