Question

SDK ReadOnlyAccess = true doesn't do anything

asked on May 13, 2014

If I use this code to set my account to Read Only it doesn't set it to Read Only. What does this method do? Does anyone know the correct method? Also does anyone know why I can't get the Trustee "Everyone" by name?

ILFTrustee everyone = db.GetTrusteeByName("Chad");

            everyone.ReadOnlyAccess = true;

Be sure to call the Update method on ILFTrustee to save your change.

As for getting a reference to "Everyone", please try the following:

ILFDomainAccount everyone = db.LookupDomainAccount("EVERYONE");

Oh, that was why. Needed to use everyone.update(); or no changes were made. Thanks! I am trying to get the actual built in Everyone in Laserfiche. I am assuming it is a Trustee but not sure.

The "Everyone" trustee is actually a built-in Windows security identifier and not a Laserfiche group, which is why you need to use the LookupDomainAccount method to get an object for it.

Ok, it looks like domain accounts do not support setting ReadOnlyAccess to true. Through the administration console there is an option for Read Only Access just like a Trustee has.

The specific error is Operation invalid for the requested type of object. It does work on Trustees.

Are you trying to get the domain group everyone?

I believe you can that by calling LookupDomainAccount with "\\Everyone" or "Domain\Everyone"

I don't know about the ReadOnlyAccess property question however.
