Hi All,
Say that I am accessing a workitem w1. Description field of w1 mentions one attachment say attachment 100.
And say I do not have access to this attachment. How do I detect it ?

I have fetched attachment handle and reached following stage:

IAttachmentHandle attachHandle = (IAttachmentHandle) iReference.resolve();
                IAuditableClient auditableClient = (IAuditableClient) teamRepo
                        .getClientLibrary(IAuditableClient.class);
                IAttachment attachment = (IAttachment) auditableClient
                        .resolveAuditable((IAttachmentHandle) attachHandle, IAttachment.DEFAULT_PROFILE, null);


The highlighted line above throws me an exception as I don not have access to it. I want to detect the access rights. How can I do it?

I am not aware of fine grained read access permissions for work item attachments. If you have access to the work item, you have access to the attachments. There is a permission aware API to resolve handles you could use if in doubt.

explain the attachments API
