Example 3: Getting the MdPermissionInfo List for a single identity

This is an example of getting the List of MdPermissionInfo instances for a single Identity.

     try
     {
        CMetadata object;  // any SAS CMetadata object type will work here (your code must fill this in)
        MdAuthorizationUtil authUtil = object.getAuthorizationUtil();
        Identity identity; // Some Identity object (probably from the List returned by Example 2.
        List <String>permissions = null; // Indicate to get all applicable Permissions for the object
        List <MdPermissionInfo>permInfoList = authUtil.getAuthorizations(identity, permissions);
     }
     catch (MdException e)
     {
        e.printStackTrace();
     }
     catch (RemoteException e)
     {
        e.printStackTrace();
     }
