        Throws:
        Exception - if an error occurs

      • checkPermission

        void checkPermission​(Path absPath,

                     RepositoryException
        Determines whether the specified permissions are granted on the item with the specified id (i.e. the target item).
        Parameters:
        absPath - Path to an item.
        permissions - A combination of one or more of the Permission constants encoded as a bitmask value.
        Throws:
        AccessDeniedException - if permission is denied
        RepositoryException - it another error occurs

      • isGranted

        boolean isGranted​(ItemId id,
                  int permissions)
           throws ItemNotFoundException,
                  RepositoryException
        Deprecated.
        Determines whether the specified permissions are granted on the item with the specified id (i.e. the target item).
        Parameters:
        id - the id of the target item
        permissions - A combination of one or more of the following constants encoded as a bitmask value:
        • READ
        • WRITE
        • REMOVE
        Returns:
        true if permission is granted; otherwise false
        Throws:
        ItemNotFoundException - if the target item does not exist
        RepositoryException - if another error occurs

      • isGranted

        boolean isGranted​(Path absPath,
                  int permissions)
           throws RepositoryException
        Determines whether the specified permissions are granted on the item with the specified absPath (i.e. the target item, that may or may not yet exist).
        Parameters:
        absPath - the absolute path to test
        permissions - A combination of one or more of the Permission constants encoded as a bitmask value.
        Returns:
        true if the specified permissions are granted; otherwise false.
        Throws:
        RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

      • isGranted

        boolean isGranted​(Path parentPath,
                  Name childName,
                  int permissions)
           throws RepositoryException
        Determines whether the specified permissions are granted on an item represented by the combination of the given parentPath and childName (i.e. the target item, that may or may not yet exist).
        Parameters:
        parentPath - Path to an existing parent node.
        childName - Name of the child item that may or may not exist yet.
        permissions - A combination of one or more of the Permission constants encoded as a bitmask value.
        Returns:
        true if the specified permissions are granted; otherwise false.
        Throws:

      • canRead

        boolean canRead​(Path itemPath,
                ItemId itemId)
         throws RepositoryException
        Determines whether the item with the specified itemPath or itemId can be read. Either of the two parameters may be null.
        Note, that this method should only be called for persisted items as NEW items may not be visible to the permission evaluation. For new items isGranted(Path, int) should be used instead.

        If this method is called with both Path and ItemId it is left to the evaluation, which parameter is used.

        Parameters:
        itemPath - The path to the item or null if itemId should be used to determine the READ permission.
        itemId - Id of the item to be tested or null if the itemPath should be used to determine the permission.
        Returns:
        true if the item can be read; otherwise false.
        Throws:
        RepositoryException - if the item is NEW and only an itemId is specified or if another error occurs.

      • canAccess

        boolean canAccess​(String workspaceName)
           throws RepositoryException
        Determines whether the subject of the current context is granted access to the given workspace. Note that an implementation is free to test for the existence of a workspace with the specified name. In this case the expected return value is false, if no such workspace exists.
        Parameters:
        workspaceName - name of workspace
        Returns:
        true if the subject of the current context is granted access to the given workspace; otherwise false.
        Throws:
        RepositoryException - if an error occurs.
