Method Detail

getAccessControls

List<IPentahoAclEntry> getAccessControls()

Returns the ACLs on the existing object. Never returns null. If you need to get the effective access controls, you may need to call getEffectiveAccessControls() which will chain up from this object if necessary to find the ACLs that control this object.

Returns:

List of ACLs for this object only.

setAccessControls

void setAccessControls(List<IPentahoAclEntry> acls)

Sets the access controls on this specific object. Currently doesn't check whether the acls are the same as those assigned to the parent.

Parameters:

acls -

resetAccessControls

void resetAccessControls(List<IPentahoAclEntry> acls)

Replaces existing access controls with a new list of access controls. This method should be used in favor of setting the access controls with setAccessControls when the object is being persisted.

Parameters:

acls -

getEffectiveAccessControls

List<IPentahoAclEntry> getEffectiveAccessControls()

Examines whether the existing object has ACLs. If not, it will return the parent's ACLs. All the way up to the top if necessary. This method should never return null.

Returns:

List containing all the AclEntry objects
