Cause

Requirement to create Users or Roles using the API and define Global permissions for them at the same time.

Resolution

The following code snippet creates the Global permissions "Manage Users" and "Manage Roles" for a specific Principal (Role or User) passing its Id to the method:

public static void CreatePermissionForPrincipal(Guid principalId)

{

SecurityManager manager = SecurityManager.GetManager();

List<WcfPermission> listOfPermissions = new List<WcfPermission>();

listOfPermissions.Add(new WcfPermission { ActionName = SecurityConstants.Sets.Backend.ManageUsers, ActionTitle = "Manage Users", IsAllowed = true, IsDenied = false });

listOfPermissions.Add(new WcfPermission { ActionName = SecurityConstants.Sets.Backend.ManageRoles, ActionTitle = "Manage Roles", IsAllowed = true, IsDenied = false });

var permissionSetName = "Backend";

var providerName = "OpenAccessDataProvider";

var permissionObjectRootId = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";

var managerClassName = "Telerik__dot__Sitefinity__dot__Security__dot__SecurityManager";

var securedObjectId = manager.GetSecurityRoot("ApplicationSecurityRoot").Id.ToString();

var securedObjectType =

"Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Model.SecurityRoot, Telerik.Sitefinity.Model, Version=8.2.5900.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b28c218413bdf563"

;

var permissionService = new Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Web.Services.Permissions();

permissionService.SavePermissionActionsForSpecificPrincipal(listOfPermissions, permissionSetName, providerName, permissionObjectRootId, managerClassName, principalId, securedObjectId, securedObjectType,

"null");

}

In the code above, note that the SecurityConstants.Sets.Backend contains the different Global permission types. E.g:

SecurityConstants.Sets.Backend.ViewPermissions

SecurityConstants.Sets.Backend.ChangePermissions

SecurityConstants.Sets.Backend.ManageLabels

...

The secured object is the SecurityRoot with Key: "ApplicationSecurityRoot". E.g:

var securedObjectId = manager.GetSecurityRoot("ApplicationSecurityRoot").Id.ToString();

The secured object type is a string with the following pattern:

var securedObjectType =

"Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Model.SecurityRoot, Telerik.Sitefinity.Model, Version=8.2.5900.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b28c218413bdf563"

;

In the code above change the version to reflect your current project's version.

In the code snippet provided permissionSetName, providerName, permissioObjectRootId and managerClassName are constant.
