Using LF CLoud workflow to remove rights

asked on May 29

Hello,

I'm using Laserfiche Workflow Cloud and I'm trying to find a way to completely reset the security on a document before assigning new rights.

My goal is:

  1. Remove all existing rights from a document.
  2. Assign a new set of rights to the users/groups that should have access.

The challenge I'm running into is that the Assign Rights action requires me to specify the usernames or groups whose rights should be removed. However, I don't know of a way within Workflow Cloud to first retrieve all users/groups that currently have rights assigned to a document.

In older discussions, I've seen solutions involving scripts, but those appeared to be for self-hosted/on-premises environments rather than Laserfiche Cloud.

Is there a way in Laserfiche Cloud Workflow to:

  • Retrieve all current security assignments on a document?
  • Remove all rights from a document without knowing the existing users/groups beforehand?
  • Otherwise reset document security and then apply a fresh set of permissions?

Any guidance or recommended workaround would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Luis, take a look to this link, basically is using Security Tags, instead direct permission at the document. That is a working around, is not a solution but maybe in your case can help.

Removing rights in this way is also something I have run into.  You can easily read security groups to be able to know what to remove.  The only workaround I have come up with, which is not ideal, is if you are assigning security groups to a doc/folder, you add each as a multi-value field so it can be looked up later.  Or put it in a table.  Again, not ideal and full proof.

A feature request to remove all rights on an entry would be fantastic!
