APIs details
getPolicySet( )
public PolicySet getPolicySet(String policySetId, boolean fetchPolicies) throws SDKException;
Returns details for the specified policySetId, and if fetchPolicies is set to true, it bring the details of all policies under it.
- @param policySetId Id of the PolicySet whose information needs to be fetched
- @param fetchPolicies if set to true, it will bring details of all policies under it. If set to false, it neither fetches the details nor the count of the policies under it.
- @return PolicySet this object encapsulates all details related to PolicySet including policies
- @throws SDKException
createPolicySet( )
public String createPolicySet(PolicySet policySet) throws SDKException;
Creates a PolicySet. Note that creating a large number of PolicySets can have adverse performance effects.
- @param PolicySet encapsulates all details related to PolicySet other than the policies under it
- @return policySetId of the newly created PolicySet
- @throws SDKException
updatePolicySetInfo( )
public void updatePolicySetInfo(String name, String desc, String policySetId) throws SDKException;
Updates the information for the given PolicySetId.
- @param name Updates the name of the PolicySet
- @param description Updates the description of the PolicySet
- @param policySetId ID of the PolicySet whose information needs to be updated
- @throws SDKException
getPolicySetIdByPolicySetName( )
public String getPolicySetIdByPolicySetName(String policySetName) throws SDKException;
Gets the PolicySetId corresponding to the PolicySetName.
- @param policySetName of the PolicySet
- @return policySetId of the policySet
- @throws SDKException
deletePolicySets( )
public HashMap deletePolicySets(List<String> ids) throws SDKException;
Deletes all policySets whose ids are set as argument.
- @param policySetIds IDs of the policySets that need to be deleted. If a policySetId does not exist, the system will throw SDKException.
- @return A map that contains all those policySetIds (which existed in the system) as keys that were not deleted and reasons for same as values. This would not let a user delete any policySet that has policies under it.
- @throws SDKException
updatePolicySetPublishers( )
public void updatePolicySetPublishers(String policysetId, ArrayList userIds, boolean add) throws SDKException;
Helps add or remove Publishers on a given policySet
- @param policySetId id of the policySet whose publishers need to be modified
- @param userIds list of userIds which need to be added/removed from the policySet as publishers
- @param add a boolean which when set to true will add users as publishers; if set to false will delete those as publishers
- @throws SDKException
updatePolicySetVisibleUsersGroups( )
public void updatePolicySetVisibleUsersGroups(String policysetId, ArrayList userIds, boolean add) throws SDKException;
Helps add or remove VisibleUsersGroups on a given policySet
- @param policySetId id of the policySet whose VisibleUsersGroups need to be modified
- @param userIds list of userIds which need to be added or removed from the policySet as VisibleUsersGroups
- @param add a boolean which if set to true will add users as VisibleUsersGroups, if set to false will delete those as VisibleUsersGroups
- @throws SDKException
updatePolicySetCoordinators( )
public void updatePolicySetCoordinators(String policysetId, ArrayList<PolicySetCoordinatorAndPerms> userIdAndPermsList, boolean add) throws SDKException;
Helps add or remove Coordinators on a given policySet
- @param policySetId id of the policySet whose Coordinators need to be modified
- @param userIdAndPermsList list of userIds and their permissions (com.adobe.livecycle.rightsmanagement.client.infomodel.PolicySetCoordinatorAndPerms) which need to be added or removed from the policySet as Coordinators
- @param add a boolean which if set to true will add users as Coordinators, if set to false will delete those as Coordinators

updateCoordinatorPermission( )
public void updateCoordinatorPermission(String policySetId, String userId, ArrayList perms) throws SDKException;
Helps update Coordinator's (userId) Permissions (perms) for a given policySetId
- @param policySetId id of the policySet on which the user will we added as co-ordinator
- @param userId user id that will be added as co-ordinator
