GrantPermissionForComponent method: PortalRegistry class

Syntax

GrantPermissionForComponent(MenuName, ComponentName, Market, PermListName, NodeName)

Description

Use the GrantPermissionForComponent method to grant the specified permission and cascaded upwards on parent folders to the specified component. In addition, the specified permission is granted to any component references that point to the specified component, and any parent folders.

Components that have query strings are also searched and permissions are applied on them.
