I am using DMX v6.1.3 and am trying to add a folder and set permissions using the API.

The following function is adding the folder correctly, but not setting any permissions. I am guessing it is because I am doing something wrong with the EntryPermissionCollection.

public EntryInfo AddPropertyDocumentRepository(PortalSettings portalSettings, string propertyName)
{
var locale = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name;
var portalId = portalSettings.PortalId;
var propertiesFolder = API.GetFolderByPath(portalSettings.PortalId, 0, "Properties", locale , true);
var propertyRole = GetPropertyRole(portalId, propertyName);

//TODO: These permissions are not being saved with the new folder. It may be because the EntryID is -1.
var permissions = new EntryPermissionCollection();
permissions.AddPermission(portalSettings.PortalId, -1 , "VIEW", propertyRole.RoleID, -10);
permissions.AddPermission(portalSettings.PortalId, -1 , "EDIT", propertyRole.RoleID, -10);
permissions.AddPermission(portalSettings.PortalId, -1 , "ADD", propertyRole.RoleID, -10);

//TODO: Need to add permissions for the 'Administrators' role.
permissions.AddPermission(portalSettings.PortalId, -1, "VIEW", portalSettings.AdministratorRoleId, -10);
permissions.AddPermission(portalSettings.PortalId, -1, "EDIT", portalSettings.AdministratorRoleId, -10);
permissions.AddPermission(portalSettings.PortalId, -1, "ADD", portalSettings.AdministratorRoleId, -10);



var propertyFolder = API.AddFolder(portalSettings.PortalId, propertiesFolder.EntryId, propertyName, portalSettings.UserInfo, permissions);

return propertyFolder;
}

Hi,

You could also use these API calls from DMX.Security.Permissions.EntryPermissionsController:

Public Shared Sub AddRolePermission(ByVal PortalId As Integer, ByVal EntryId As Integer, ByVal PermissionKey As String, ByVal RoleId As Integer)
Public Shared Sub AddUserPermission(ByVal PortalId As Integer, ByVal EntryId As Integer, ByVal PermissionKey As String, ByVal UserId As Integer)

I'll make a note to add a more concise API call in a future version.

Thank you. That did the trick!
