Workflow Description#

There are three AuthorityTypes: USER, GROUP and ROLE. An Authority is used to form an Authority Control Entry (ACE), which associates the Authority with Permissions on a node (resource).

AccessControlService.getAllAuthorities() requires one of the three AuthorityTypes as a filter and returns a list of the corresponding authorities. Example outputs corresponding to the three cases are given below. (There were no roles in the system at at the time of the request.)

There is also a boolean rootOnly input element. Refers to child authorities derived from root users, groups and roles?

Input/Output#

SOAP message that initiates workflow. USER can be changed to GROUP or ROLE.
