Copy Folder ACLs - Enable/Disable Security Override

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a question about setting the 'Security Override' option of folders in Vault.
Is it possible to enable/disable this using the Vault API?

I want to use this on a project to copy folders in Vault and also the Folder ACLs (see attachment).

Creating the folders and copying the Folder ACLs i have already working using the following statements:

WebServiceManager.DocumentService.AddFolder(TargetFolder)
WebServiceManager.SecurityService.GetACLsByEntityIds(SourceFolder)
WebServiceManager.SecurityService.UpdateACL(TargetFolder)

I only need to set the 'Security Override' option now programmatically.

Any suggestions?

I'am using Vault Proffesional 2012, build 17.1.16.0 and Visual C# 2010 SP1

Kind regards, Frank

Hi Frank,

Take a look at the suggestion in this blog post. It discusses setting security on a file and in my limited testing it works for a folder also: 

http://adndevblog.typepad.com/manufacturing/2013/02/vault-use-setsystemacls-to-set-permissions-on-fi...

Here is the code I added to that example:

...

ACL myAcl = m_serviceManager.

          SecurityService.AddSystemACL(aces);

//wb testing not in blog post

Folder[] fldrArray = m_serviceManager.DocumentService.GetFoldersByFileMasterId(myFiles[0].MasterId);

Folder myFolder = fldrArray[0];

            m_serviceManager.SecurityService.

                   SetSystemACLs(

newlong[] { myFolder.Id }, myAcl.Id);

//END wb testing not in blog post

　

          m_serviceManager.SecurityService.

                  SetSystemACLs(

newlong[]

         { myFiles[0].MasterId }, myAcl.Id);

        }

...

Thanks,

Hi Wayne,

Thanx for the code.

I followed the steps and with the 'SetSystemACLs' command i was able to check the 'Security Override' option!

Kind regards,
