Setting Permissions on Document in a Sharepoint Doc Library

Hi Arduk,

Unfortunately there is no easy way of doing this in the current version of K2 blackpearl (807 KB000370). You should however be able to do this with the relatively easy workaround below.

If  you are retrieving the users using a SmartBox SmartObject you could do the following :

• 
  
• Set the destination rule(Advanced Mode) of the activity where the UserManagement event is located to "Plan per slot (No Destinations)" and drag the "[UserName]" property into the "Select a List Field to determine how many slots should be created" Textbox
  
• This will then create an instance of the Activity for each of the results returned by the GetList
  
• Then you can use the "InstanceData" value of the "Activity Destination Instance" in the K2 Object Browser which will contain the UserName and can then be used in the UserManagement event as the user to assign the rights to

If the users are located in a custom SQL Database you could use the Dynamic SQL service to create a SmartObject returning the values and using it in the same way as described.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Gert

Hi Gert,

Thanks very much for getting back to me. Unfortunately I am not using smart objects, so I am not sure if your idea will work - I am using a code event to load the data into a repeating xml field set up as follows:
<issuedDocPermissions>
  <readers>
    <reader> (this node is repeating, and into this I am loading the group or username that should be given read access.

I thought your idea may work for this anyway, but I set it up as you described, dragging the <reader> field onto the "Select a list field to determine how many slots should be created" text box.
I was unable to drag the "InstanceData" field onto the text box where you assign rights to - it doesn't let me drop the field in there. I tried browsing, and selected "Destination Users", and was able to assign this OK.
The event never fires though - an error is thrown saying something along the lines of "There are multiple root nodes" (sorry - I accidentally deleted the error...). After getting this error, I tried dropping the "<readers>" xml field onto the "Select a list field to determine how many slots should be created" text box., instead of the "<reader>" node, but it doesn't let me drop this field in...

Any other ideas on how this can be achieved.

Thanks in advance

Hi Arduk,

I just found out that there is a know issue in 807 KB000370 where you are unable to drag K2 Context DataFields into some of the TextBoxes in the K2 Event Wizards. This will be fixed in the Next Major release of K2.

You should still be able to work past this issue by simply assigning the "InstanceData" value to a new Datafield and dragging the DataField into the Textbox where you assign the rights. Unfortunately you would need to assign this value in a server event using the sample code below :

K2.ProcessInstace.DataFields["InstanceData"].Value = K2.ActivityInstanceDestination.InstanceData;

Please let me know how this goes.

Regards,

Gert
