Delete a user group using alfresco SDK

[ajay7]

Hi all,

I am new to user management  in alfresco and i am working on alfresco SDK.

i have created a new user group in alfresco sdk using the following code

AuthorityService authorityService=serviceRegistry.getAuthorityService();
authorityService.createAuthority(AuthorityType.GROUP, null, "Ajay_Group_NEW");

my question is now i want to delete  user group  "Ajay_Group_NEW"  using SDK?

i have tried with 2 options 
1.authorityService.removeAuthority(null, "Ajay_Group_NEW");
2. authorityService.deleteAuthority("Ajay_Group_NEW");

both are not working

what is the option? pls help

Hi,

Try this.

authorityService.deleteAuthority(authorityService.getName(AuthorityType.GROUP,"Ajay_Group_NEW"));‍‍‍‍‍

This is because, internally all group names are prefixed by GROUP_ and best way is to call getName and then delete the authority like above.
This way even if the prefix is changed your code will not break.

Best Regards,
Shagul
