Interface Role

All Superinterfaces:

DirectoryPrincipal, java.security.Principal

All Known Subinterfaces:

RelativeRole

public interface Role
extends DirectoryPrincipal

A Role is a DirectoryPrincipal representing a role that may be played by one or more OrganizationalEntity.

Roles may be assignable, which means that they can be explicitly assigned to users or organizations using the OrganizationalEntity.assignRole() method. The membership of an assignable role is the set of users and organizations to whom the role has been explicitly assigned.

Non-assignable roles, in contrast, have a membership that is determined dynamically based on the attributes of each User. The membership criteria are not accessible via this interface, and depend on the UserDirectory implementation.

Method Detail

isAssignable

boolean isAssignable()

Determine whether this Role may be explicitly assigned to a User using assignRole().

Returns:

true if this role is explicitly assignable to individual Users.

See Also:

OrganizationalEntity.assignRole(atg.userdirectory.Role)

getParentFolder

RoleFolder getParentFolder()

Get the parent RoleFolder of this Role, if it belongs to one.

Returns:

a parent RoleFolder, or null if the role does not belong to any folder.

getAssignees

java.util.Collection getAssignees()

Get all OrganizationalEntities to which this assignable role is explicitly assigned. Invoking this method on a non-assignable role will return an empty collection.

Returns:

a collection of OrganizationalEntities

getAssigneeOrganizations

java.util.Collection getAssigneeOrganizations()

Get all Organizations to which this assignable role is explicitly assigned. Invoking this method on a non-assignable role will return an empty collection.

Returns:

a collection of Organizations

getAssigneeOrganizationsSortOnName

java.util.Collection getAssigneeOrganizationsSortOnName(int pStartIndex,
                                                      int pEndIndex,
                                                      int pSortOrder)

Get all Organizations to which this assignable role is explicitly assigned, sorted on the name of the organization, with index control of the result set returned as a collection. Invoking this method on a non-assignable role will return an empty collection.

Parameters:

pStartIndex - starting index of the sorted result set.

pEndEndex - end index of the sorted result set. a value of -1 sets the end index to infinite.

pSortOrder - sort order of the return set. valid values = { UserDirectory.ASCENDING, UserDirectory.DESCENDING }

Returns:

a collection of atg.userdirectory.Organizations which are assigned explicitly to this Role.

getAssigneeUsersSortOnLogin

java.util.Collection getAssigneeUsersSortOnLogin(int pStartIndex,
                                               int pEndIndex,
                                               int pSortOrder)

Get all Users to which this assignable role is explicitly assigned, sorted on the login of the user, with index control of the result set returned as a collection. Invoking this method on a non-assignable role will return an empty collection.

Parameters:

pStartIndex - starting index of the sorted result set.

pEndEndex - end index of the sorted result set. a value of -1 sets the end index to infinite.

pSortOrder - sort order of the return set. valid values = { UserDirectory.ASCENDING, UserDirectory.DESCENDING }

Returns:

a collection of atg.userdirectory.Users which are assigned explicitly to this Role.

getAssigneeUsersSortOnFirstName

java.util.Collection getAssigneeUsersSortOnFirstName(int pStartIndex,
                                                   int pEndIndex,
