Custom evaluator - how to execute as system user?

[csiege]

Hi,

I have a custom evaluator for a custom action button.  I need to be able to do some checking inside that evaluator.

Apparantly the evaluator executes with the current users permissions.
I need to execute as the system user.

What is the best / easiest way to do that from within an evaluator?

The specific line I am failing on due to this is

permissionService.getAllSetPermissions(node.getNodeRef());‍

thanks!

Chris

The org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.AuthenticationUtil class has some useful methods for this sort of thing.

Amongst other things, you can call runAs() with a anonymous class of work to perform as the specified user.

Cheers,
