1. Use the ToolManager service to get the current context

   Code Block
   java java
   String currentContext = toolManager.getCurrentPlacement().getContext();

   • Note: You could also retrieve the context in other ways, this is just the common one
2. Use the SiteService to get the site reference from the context

   Code Block
   java java
   String siteRef = siteService.siteReference(context);

   • Note: This could also be a group reference instead of a site reference (in theory)
3. Create a Collection of the references and pass that to the AuthzGroupService to get the Set of userIds

   Code Block
   java java
   java.util.List azGroups = new java.util.ArrayList(); azGroups.add(siteRef); java.util.Set userIds = authzGroupService.getUsersIsAllowed("tool.permission", azGroups);

   • Note: In this case, tool.permission is the permission you registered earlier with the FunctionManager

Setting the permissions for the !site.template (or any template)

• Note: You have to be careful with this because it will overwrite the current permissions that the user has setup

1. Setup a constant for the site template string

   Code Block
   java java
   private final static String SITE_TEMPLATE = "!site.template";

2. Use the AuthzGroupService to get the AuthzGroup for SITE_TEMPLATE

   Code Block
   java java
   try { AuthzGroup ag = authzGroupService.getAuthzGroup(SITE_TEMPLATE);

3. Use the AuthzGroupService to check if ag can be updated

   Code Block
   java java
   if (authzGroupService.allowUpdate(ag.getId())) {

4. Use the AuthzGroup to set the maintain role to have the permission for the tool and the AuthzGroupService to save the group

   Code Block
   java java
   Role r = ag.getRole(ag.getMaintainRole()); r.allowFunction("tool.permission"); authzGroupService.save(ag); log.info("Added Permissions to group:" + SITE_TEMPLATE);

5. Log warnings and handle exceptions

   Code Block
   java java
   } else { log.warn("Cannot update authz group: " + SITE_TEMPLATE); } } catch (GroupNotDefinedException e) { log.error("Could not find group: " + SITE_TEMPLATE + ", default perms will not be assigned"); } catch (AuthzPermissionException e) { log.error("Could not save group: " + SITE_TEMPLATE); }
