How to Use the SAS Java Metadata Authorization Interface

• Example 1: Obtaining the MdAuthorizationUtil Interface
• Example 2: Getting the Identity List for permissions set on an object
• Example 3: Getting the MdPermissionInfo List for a single identity
• Example 4: Getting the MdAuthorizationInfo List for multiple identities
• Example 5: Setting the MdPermissionInfo List for a single identity
• Example 6: Setting the MdAuthorizationInfo List for multiple identities

Example 6: Setting the MdAuthorizationInfo List for multiple identities

This is an example of invoking MdAuthorizationUtil.setAuthorizations with a List of MdAuthorizationInfo instances that represent permissions set for multiple Identity objects.

     try
     {
        CMetadata object;   // any SAS CMetadata object type will work here (your code must fill this in)
        MdAuthorizationUtil authUtil = object.getAuthorizationUtil();

        // Instance a List to contain MdAuthorizationInfo instances created below
        List <MdAuthorizationInfo>authInfoList = new ArrayList<MdAuthorizationInfo>(2);

        Identity identity1;  // The first Identity for which permissions are being set (your code must set this Identity object value)
        List <MdPermissionInfo>permInfoList1 = new ArrayList<MdPermissionInfo>(2);
        permInfoList1.add(new MdPermissionInfoImpl(
                    PermissionType.GRANT, MdPermissionInfo.PERMISSION_READMETADATA ));
        permInfoList1.add(new MdPermissionInfoImpl(
                    PermissionType.DENY, MdPermissionInfo.PERMISSION_WRITEMETADATA ));
        authInfoList1.add(new MdAuthorizationInfoImpl(identity1, permInfoList1);

        Identity identity2;  // The second Identity for which permissions are being set (your code must set this Identity object value)
        List <MdPermissionInfo>permInfoList2 = new ArrayList<MdPermissionInfo>(3);
        permInfoList2.add(new MdPermissionInfoImpl(
                    PermissionType.DENY, MdPermissionInfo.PERMISSION_READ ));
        permInfoList2.add(new MdPermissionInfoImpl(
                    PermissionType.DENY, MdPermissionInfo.PERMISSION_WRITE ));
        permInfoList2.add(new MdPermissionInfoImpl(
                    PermissionType.DENY, MdPermissionInfo.PERMISSION_DELETE ));
        authInfoList.add(new MdAuthorizationInfoImpl(identity2, permInfoList2);

        Identity identity3;  // The third Identity for which permissions are being set (your code must set this Identity object value)
        List <MdPermissionInfo>permInfoList3 = new ArrayList<MdPermissionInfo>(4);
        permInfoList3.add(new MdPermissionInfoImpl(
                    PermissionType.GRANT, MdPermissionInfo.PERMISSION_CHECKINMETADATA ));
        permInfoList3.add(new MdPermissionInfoImpl(
                    PermissionType.GRANT, MdPermissionInfo.PERMISSION_CREATE ));
        permInfoList3.add(new MdPermissionInfoImpl(
                    PermissionType.GRANT, MdPermissionInfo.PERMISSION_ADMINISTER ));
        permInfoList3.add(new MdPermissionInfoImpl(
                    PermissionType.DENY, MdPermissionInfo.PERMISSION_DELETE ));
        authInfoList.add(new MdAuthorizationInfoImpl(identity3, permInfoList3);

        authUtil.setAuthorizations(authInfoList);
     }
     catch (MdException e)
     {
        e.printStackTrace();
     }
     catch (RemoteException e)
     {
        e.printStackTrace();
     }
