How to modify access list for Project area?

Hi, I have following issue. I would like to modify access list for given project area. I found following method: projectArea.getReadAccessList() Is that a method I should use? Could you provide me sample of the code how to add given user and add him "developer" role?
Thanks in advance.

there is no 'api'.. there are a bunch of methods on objects as this is an Object Oriented system..

if you look at the new Javadoc for 3.0.1.1, you need to connect to the repository (ITeamRepository), and u need to create, update, save users (IContributor) with some manager class (IContributorManager) and there are a bunch of classes under IContributor (identity, userid, details, handle, record) and u will probably have to use the ItemManager to read/write stuff in the Repository.

A lot of those classes are in the com.ibm.team.repository.common package, some are in the com.ibm.team.repository.client package

Hi,

You can use the IProjectArea#getReadAccessList() method, then fetch that item handle, then use the IReadAccessList#addContributors() method, then save that modified read access list.

If you don't actually need them to be on the access list specifically, you can also just use IProcessArea#addMember(). I don't think you will be able to assign a role to a user who is on the access list but not a member of the project anyways.

Unfortunately there isn't a public API way to add a role to a user via the client libraries. However, there is a REST service that allows you to.

Check out https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/DraftTeamProcessRestApi#Role_Assignments_collection.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Use teamRepository.itemManager() to get an IItemManager. Then, call IItemManager.fetchCompleteItem(ACLHandle, flags, progressMonitor) to get the full access list item.

Thank you Parker for your reply. Unfortunately I have another issue:

I know how to fetch IReadAccessListHandle but I do not have any idea how I can retrieve object of type IReadAccessList.

Here is my code:

ITeamRepository teamRepository= TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService().getTeamRepository(repositoryURI);

teamRepository.registerLoginHandler(new LoginHandler(userId, password));

teamRepository.login(null);

IProjectArea projectArea= (IProjectArea) processClient.findProcessArea(uri, null, null);

IReadAccessListHandle ACLhandle = pa.getReadAccessList();

IReadAccessList readAccessList = ????

teamRepository.logout();

Ho to retrieve IReadAccessList object?

Thank you Martha :)

Now I believe have the last issue. Here is my code:

ITeamRepository teamRepository= TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService().getTeamRepository(repositoryURI);

		teamRepository.registerLoginHandler(new LoginHandler(userId, password));

		teamRepository.login(null);

        IReadAccessList readAccessList = (IReadAccessList) teamRepository.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(aCLhandle, IItemManager.DEFAULT, null);

        IContributor second = teamRepository.contributorManager().fetchContributorByUserId("jerry", null);

        IContributorHandle [] toAdd = {second};

        readAccessList.addContributors(toAdd);

Now, I get following exception in the last line:

Exception in thread "main" com.ibm.team.repository.common.internal.ImmutablePropertyException

What is wrong with my code?

Hi krzysztofkazmierczyk,

If you want to modify an IItem, you have to use its workingCopy, e.g.

IReadAccessList readAccessList = (IReadAccessList) teamRepository.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(aCLhandle, IItemManager.DEFAULT, null).getWorkingCopy();

Hello,
I used workingCopy now, but the changes are not applied. IReadAccessList does not contain save() method. How I should apply the changes after adding to access list?

Hi,
Get IProcessItemService and then use it to save your changes.

IProcessItemService processItemService = (IProcessItemService) teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IProcessItemService.class);
processItemService ().save(readAccessList, null);

Hello,
It works! Thanks :)
