ICAT 4.1 API - addUserGroupMember, addRule

[c.felder.m.sc]

Hello,

is there some PDF document (as provided for ICAT 4.0) or other documentation for ICAT 4.1?

In the previous version I have used the addUserGroupMember and addRule methods to create the

necessary permissions to deal with the web service.

example code (ICAT 4.0), self._c is an derived instance of suds.client.Client:

        # create group root and add user root

        self._c.service.addUserGroupMember(self._sessionId, "root", "root")

        # root should have access to all types

        for icatType in ICatType.ALL_TYPES:

            self._c.service.addRule(self._sessionId, "root", icatType, 

                                    "CRUD", None)

How do I accomplish this with the new API?

I think I have to create a ?group? or ?userGroup? first and then a new rule using the factory.

But I don't understand the relationship because rule references group and group references rules[].

I ran into Unexpected DB responses when I finally call the webservices create method.

Best,

Christian

I resolved the problem my self.

The following first version of code does what I expect:

        # create group root

        group = self._c.factory.create("group")

        group.name = "root"

        group.id = self._c.service.create(self._sessionId, group)

        # root should have access to all types

        for icatType in ICatType.ALL_TYPES:

            rule = self._c.factory.create("rule")

            rule.group = group

            rule.crudFlags = "CRUD"

            rule.what = icatType

            self._c.service.create(self._sessionId, rule)

        # create User and UserGroup to represent

        # user -> group relationship

        usr = self._c.factory.create("user")

        usr.name = "root"

        usr.fullName = "Superuser"

        usr.id = self._c.service.create(self._sessionId, usr)

        

        # relationship

        usrGroup = self._c.factory.create("userGroup")

        usrGroup.group = group

        usrGroup.user = usr

        self._c.service.create(self._sessionId, usrGroup)

Sorry for the delay replying - I have not been at work today. The
documentation is all below
http://www.icatproject.org/mvn/site/icat/4.1.0. At the top left of
this page are all the links to user documentation including the schema
and using the Java client.
