public interface Group
Represents a group of user accounts defined by the directory service on the Content Engine server. Access rights and permissions are assigned to a grantee, which can be a user or a group. Access rights can be assigned to a group regardless of whether the group has any members. Users can be added to the group later. When a user is added to a group, the user automatically gains the access rights assigned to the group to which it belongs. A group can also have subgroups.
Security on objects, such as folders and documents, can pertain to particular groups. These groups, and the users and subgroups that make up the group's membership, are defined and created using tools provided by your directory service product (for example, Windows Active Directory, Novell eDirectory, or Sun Java System Directory Server). Creating user accounts and the groups to which they belong are administrative tasks (typically performed by a system administrator) that are outside the scope of the Content Engine API.
You cannot create a new Group
object, but you can instantiate one that has
been persisted in your directory service by:
getInstance
or fetchInstance
on the Factory.Group
class.Group
object from a GroupSet
collection object.You can call methods on the Group
object to retrieve information about the group, such as its
name and ID, or to get references to other objects. References to other objects may include the users
who are members of the group and the subgroups or parent groups of the group.
