Method Detail

addPermission

boolean addPermission(int permissionType,
                      String group)
                      throws CreateException

Grants a user group a global permission.

Parameters:

permissionType - the global permission.

group - the name of the group. Null means "anyone" group. The JIRA use permission cannot be granted to anyone.

Returns:

true if the permission was added

Throws:

CreateException - if the permission creation fails

getPermissions

Collection<JiraPermission> getPermissions(int permissionType)

Retrieve a list of user groups which have been granted a specified permission. The returned JiraPermission contains a reference to the user group. JiraPermission.getScheme() is always NULL, because Global permission are not configured using schemes. JiraPermission.getType() will always return "group", because global permissions can only be granted to groups.

Parameters:

permissionType - The permission. Must be a global permission.

Returns:

Collection of JiraPermission.getPermType(), must never return null.

removePermission

boolean removePermission(int permissionType,
                         String group)
                         throws RemoveException

Revokes a global permission for a user group

Parameters:

permissionType - the global permission.

group - the group name. NULL means the anyone group.

Returns:

true if the permission was revoked, false if not (e.g. the group does not have this permission)

Throws:

RemoveException - if the permission removal fails

removePermissions

boolean removePermissions(String group)
                          throws RemoveException

Revoke all global permissions for a user group.

Parameters:

group - cannot NOT be null and the group must exist.

Returns:

true, if this group does not have any global permissions

Throws:

RemoveException - if the permission removal fails

hasPermission

boolean hasPermission(int permissionType)

Check if a global permission is granted for an anonymous user.

If the permission is Permissions.ADMINISTER and the lookup is false then the same query will be executed for the Permissions.SYSTEM_ADMIN permission type, since it is implied that having a Permissions.SYSTEM_ADMIN permission grants Permissions.ADMINISTER rights.

Note: Use hasPermission(int, User) method is you have the user object, i.e. user is not anonymous.

If you are using this method directly, consider using PermissionManager.hasPermission(int, User) instead as it handles logged in and anonymous users as well.

Parameters:

permissionType - must be global permission

Returns:

true the anonymous user has the permission of given type, false otherwise

hasPermission(int, User)

hasPermission

boolean hasPermission(int permissionType,
                      com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User user)

Deprecated. Use hasPermission(int, ApplicationUser) instead. Since v6.0.

Check if a global permission for one of the users groups exists.

If the permission type is Permissions.ADMINISTER and the lookup is false then the same query will be executed for the Permissions.SYSTEM_ADMIN permission type, since it is implied that having a Permissions.SYSTEM_ADMIN permission grants Permissions.ADMINISTER rights.

Note: Use hasPermission(int) method is you do not have the user object, i.e. user is anonymous.

If you are using this method directly, consider using PermissionManager.hasPermission(int, User) instead as it handles logged in and anonymous users as well.

Parameters:

permissionType - must be a global permission

user - must not be null

Returns:

true if the given user has the permission of given type, otherwise false

See Also:

hasPermission(int), PermissionManager.hasPermission(int, User)

hasPermission

boolean hasPermission(int permissionType,
                      ApplicationUser user)

Check if a global permission for one of the users groups exists.

If the permission type is Permissions.ADMINISTER and the lookup is false then the same query will be executed for the Permissions.SYSTEM_ADMIN permission type, since it is implied that having a Permissions.SYSTEM_ADMIN permission grants Permissions.ADMINISTER rights.
