Permission Manager (REST)

The Relativity REST API supports operations on permissions though the Permission Manager service. The operations available through the service are equivalent to the asynchronous methods for interacting with the permissions in the Relativity Services API. For more information, see Permissions.

Note: You can only use the POST method when interacting with the service.

Client code sample

The following is an example of .NET REST code for returning groups with admin permissions. You can use this code for all Permission Manager service operations with different endpoint URLs and input JSON values.

Copy 
//Set up the REST client.
            
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost/");

//Set the required headers.
            
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-CSRF-Header", "-");
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Basic c2FtcGxlYWRtaW5AcmVsYXRpdml0eS5yZXN0OlMwbTNwQHNzdzByZA==");

//Call get groups with admin permissions.
            
string url = "/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity.Services.Permission.IPermissionModule/Permission%20Manager/GetAdminGroupSelectorAsync";
StringContent content = new StringContent(CreateInputJSON, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
HttpResponseMessage response = httpClient.PostAsync(url, content).Result;
string result = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
bool success = HttpStatusCode.Created == response.StatusCode;

//Parse the result with Json.NET.
            
JObject resultObject = JObject.Parse(result);

Get admin groups

Use this Permission Manager service URL to return groups with admin permissions enabled and disabled:

Copy 
<host>/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity.Services.Permission.IPermissionModule/Permission%20Manager/GetAdminGroupSelectorAsync

The request does not include any input parameters.

The response returns a GroupSelector object. Group Selector includes the EnabledGroups and DisabledGroups properties that list groups with and without admin permissions.

Get workspace groups

Use this Permission Manager service URL to return groups with workspace permissions enabled and disabled:

Copy 
<host>/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity.Services.Permission.IPermissionModule/Permission%20Manager/GetWorkspaceGroupSelectorAsync

The request must include the workspace Artifact ID:

Copy 
{
  "workspaceArtifactID": 13758822
}

The response includes the EnabledGroups and DisabledGroups properties that list groups with and without workspace permissions.

Get item groups

Use this Permission Manager service URL to return groups with item permissions enabled and disabled:

Copy 
<host>/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity.Services.Permission.IPermissionModule/Permission%20Manager/GetItemGroupSelectorAsync

The request must include the Artifact IDs for the workspace and the item:

Copy 
{
  "workspaceArtifactID": 13758822,
  "artifactID": 17234345
}

The response returns includes the EnabledGroups and DisabledGroups properties that list groups with and without item permissions.

Add and remove admin groups

Use this Permission Manager service URL to add and remove groups to and from admin permissions:

Copy 
<host>/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity.Services.Permission.IPermissionModule/Permission%20Manager/AddRemoveAdminGroupsAsync

The request must include a valid JSON representation of the GroupSelector object. It is recommended that you first return a GroupSelector, and then manipulate it by moving the groups into the EnabledGroups and DisabledGroups collections as GroupRef objects. For simplicity you can set the enabled and disabled groups to only the groups you wish to modify. All other groups will not be altered within the GroupSelector object when setting the values.

Note: The GroupSelector object must have the latest value of LastModified, and every call that returns GroupSelector will update this value. This prevents a user from reading a value and modifying it if another user has read that value with the intent of changing it as well. Item-level security must be enabled to add or remove groups to the permissions for individual items.

Copy 
{
  "groupSelector": {
    "DisabledGroups": [
      {
        "ArtifactID": 1015027,
      }
    ],
    "EnabledGroups": [
      {
        "ArtifactID": 1015005,
      },
      {
        "ArtifactID": 1015028,
      },
      {
        "ArtifactID": 1015029,
      },
      {
        "ArtifactID": 1015030,
      }
    ],
    "LastModified": "2015-02-23T17:03:23.413"
  }
}

The response does not contain any data. Success or failure is indicated by the HTTP status code. For more information, see HTTP status codes.

Add and remove workspace groups

Use this Permission Manager service URL to add and remove groups to and from workspace permissions:

Copy 
<host>/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity.Services.Permission.IPermissionModule/Permission%20Manager/AddRemoveWorkspaceGroupsAsync

The request must include a workspace Artifact ID and a valid JSON representation of the GroupSelector object. It is recommended that you first return a GroupSelector, and then manipulate it by moving the groups into the EnabledGroups and DisabledGroups collections as GroupRef objects. For simplicity you can set the enabled and disabled groups to only the groups you wish to modify. All other groups will not be altered within the GroupSelector object when setting the values.

Note: The GroupSelector object must have the latest value of LastModified, and every call that returns GroupSelector will update this value. This prevents a user from reading a value and modifying it if another user has read that value with the intent of changing it as well. Item-level security must be enabled to add or remove groups to the permissions for individual items.

Copy 
{ 
  "workspaceArtifactID": 1343243,
  "groupSelector": {
    "DisabledGroups": [
      {
        "ArtifactID": 1015027

The request must include the workspace and item Artifact IDs and a valid JSON representation of the GroupSelector object. It is recommended that you first return a GroupSelector, and then manipulate it by moving the groups into the EnabledGroups and DisabledGroups collections as GroupRef objects. For simplicity you can set the enabled and disabled groups to only the groups you wish to modify. All other groups will not be altered within the GroupSelector object when setting the values.

Note: The GroupSelector object must have the latest value of LastModified, and every call that returns GroupSelector will update this value. This prevents a user from reading a value and modifying it if another user has read that value with the intent of changing it as well. Item-level security must be enabled to add or remove groups to the permissions for individual items.

    "Name": "Doe, John"
  },
  {
    "ArtifactID": 13758845,
    "Name": "Sample, JC"
  }
]

Query permissions

Use this Permission Manager service URL to query permissions:

Copy
<host>/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity.Services.Permission.IPermissionModule/Permission%20Manager/QueryAsync

The request must specify the workspace Artifact ID, the query, and optionally the number of results to return as the length property. To query admin permissions, specify -1 as workspace Artifact ID. The following is an example of a query request for view permissions with the result set sorted by ArtifactID in descending order.

Copy
{
  "workspaceArtifactID": 13758822,
  "query": {
    "Condition": "'PermissionType' == 'View'",
    "Sorts": [
      {
        "FieldIdentifier": {
          "Name": "PermissionID"
        },
        "Order": 0,
        "Direction": 1
      }
    ]
  },
  "length":5
}

If more results are available than initially specified in the length property, the query returns a token value that is not null. The results can subsequently be retrieved by a call to the QuerySubsetAsync operation.

Copy
<host>/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity.Services.Permission.IPermissionModule/Permission%20Manager/QuerySubsetAsync

Note that the QuerySubsetAsync request can specify the starting index of the result subset and the number of results to be returned.

Copy
{
  "queryToken": "a5079c32-e080-473d-846e-941ef6a5f086",
  "start": 6,
  "length": 5
}

To return all permissions in a workspace or all admin permissions, omit the Condition property in the Query object. When the length parameter is not specified, its value defaults to 0, and the number of returned results defaults to the Configuration Table value of PDVDefaultQueryCacheSize of 10000.

The response is a collection of permissions.

Copy
{
  "QueryToken": "614b4e40-8c67-47cb-b09d-57b150b8167e",

Read a single permission

If you already know the permission ID, for example, by performing a query, you can quickly read the permission without constructing a query.

Use this Permission Manager service URL to get selected permissions for the current user:

Copy
<host>/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity.Services.Permission.IPermissionModule/Permission%20Manager/GetPermissionSelectedAsync

The request must specify the workspace Artifact ID and the permission ID.

Copy
{
  "workspaceArtifactID": 13758822,
  "permissionID": 1000238
}

The response represents a single permissions object.

Copy
{
  "Name": "Delete ProductionDataSource",
  "ArtifactType": {
    "ID": 1000034,
    "Guids": [
      "7528c416-3706-4909-8805-edddcf75542d"
    ]
  },
  "PermissionID": 1000238,
  "PermissionType": {
    "ID": 3,
    "Name": "Delete"
  }
}

Get selected permissions for current user

Permission Manager service provides the following endpoints for returning the specified permissions for the current user:

  • GetPermissionSelectedAsync - returns a collection of permission values for the current user. You can also specify an ArtifactID to return permissions of an item with security enabled.
  • GetPermissionSelectedListAsync - is similar to GetPermissionSelectedAsync, but instead of only returning permissions for one artifact, you can pass in a list of ArtifactIDs to return a dictionary that maps the ArtifactID to the permissions.

GetPermissionSelectedAsync

Use this Permission Manager service URL to get selected permissions for the current user:

Copy
<host>/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity.Services.Permission.IPermissionModule/Permission%20Manager/GetPermissionSelectedAsync

The request must specify the workspace Artifact ID and a collection of permissions objects. The following is an example of a payload to check if the current user has the View, Add, Delete, and Update permissions for documents. Note that the permissions are identified by the combination of the artifact type ID (10) and permission type ID (1, 2, 3, and 6).

Copy
{
  "workspaceArtifactID": 13772405,
  "permissions": [
   {
    "ArtifactType": {
      "ID": 10
    },
    
    "PermissionType": {
      "ID": 1
    }
  },
  {
    "ArtifactType": {
      "ID": 10
    },

GetPermissionSelectedListAsync

Use this Permission Manager service URL to get the current user's permissions to specified artifacts:

Copy
<host>/Relativity.REST/api/Relativity.Services.Permission.IPermissionModule/Permission%20Manager/GetPermissionSelectedListAsync

The request must specify the workspace Artifact ID, a collection of permissions objects, and a collection of ArtifactIDs of Relativity objects. The following is an example of a payload to check if the current user has the View, Add, Delete, and Update permissions for agents. Note that because an agent is an admin-level object, -1 is specified as workspace ArtifactID and the permissions are identified by the combination of the artifact type ID (20) and permission type ID (1, 2, 3, and 6).

Copy
{
  "workspaceArtifactID": -1,
  "permissions": [
    {
      "ArtifactType": {
        "ID": 20
      },
      "PermissionType": {
        "ID": 1
