canUpdateUser

boolean canUpdateUser(com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User user)

Test if this user can be updated, i.e. is in a writable directory. This relies upon the local directory configuration and does not guarantee that the actual remote directory, e.g. the remote LDAP directory, will actually allow the user to be updated.

If the "External user management" setting is on, then you cannot update the user.

Parameters:

user - The user to update.

Returns:

true if the user can be updated.

updateUser

void updateUser(com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User user)

Updates the User. The user must have non-null names and email address.

Parameters:

user - The user to update.

Throws:

com.atlassian.crowd.exception.runtime.UserNotFoundException - If the supplied user does not exist in the directory.

com.atlassian.crowd.exception.runtime.OperationFailedException - If the underlying directory implementation failed to execute the operation.

Since:

v5.0

canUpdateUserPassword

boolean canUpdateUserPassword(com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User user)

Test if this user's password can be updated, i.e. is in a writable directory which is not a Delegated LDAP directory. This relies upon the local directory configuration and does not guarantee that the actual remote directory, e.g. the remote LDAP directory, will actually allow the user to be updated.

If the "External user management", or "External password management" setting is on, then you cannot update the password.

Parameters:

user - The user to update.

Returns:

true if the user's password can be updated.

canUpdateGroupMembershipForUser

boolean canUpdateGroupMembershipForUser(com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User user)

Test if this user's group membership can be updated, i.e. is in a writable directory or a directory with Local Group support. This relies upon the local directory configuration and does not guarantee that the actual remote directory, e.g. the remote LDAP directory, will actually allow the user membership to be updated.

Parameters:

user - The user to update.

Returns:

true if the user can be updated.

Returns an ordered list of directories that have "read-write" permission. ie those directories that we can add a user to.

Returns:

an ordered list of directories that have "read-write" permission.

See Also:

hasWritableDirectory()

hasWritableDirectory

boolean hasWritableDirectory()

Returns true if at least one User Directory has "read-write" permission.

This is equivalent to:
getWritableDirectories().size() > 0

Returns:

true if at least one User Directory has "read-write" permission.

See Also:

getWritableDirectories(), hasPasswordWritableDirectory(), hasGroupWritableDirectory()

hasPasswordWritableDirectory

boolean hasPasswordWritableDirectory()

Returns true if any of the directories have permission to update user passwords, false if otherwise.

Note that this is not quite the same as hasWritableDirectory() because of "Internal with LDAP Authentication" directories. These directories are generally read-write but passwords are read-only.

Returns:

true if any of the directories have permission to update user passwords, false if otherwise.

See Also:

hasWritableDirectory()

hasGroupWritableDirectory

boolean hasGroupWritableDirectory()

Returns true if any of the directories have permission to update groups.

Note that this will not always return the same results as hasWritableDirectory() because you can set "Read-Only with Local Groups" to LDAP directories. These directories are generally read-only but you can create local gropus and assign users to them.

Returns:

true if any of the directories have permission to update groups, false if otherwise.

See Also:

hasWritableDirectory()

canDirectoryUpdateUserPassword

boolean canDirectoryUpdateUserPassword(com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.Directory directory)

Checks if the given directory is able to update user passwords.

directory - the Directory
