Interface OrganizationMembershipPolicy

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseOrganizationMembershipPolicy, DummyOrganizationMembershipPolicy

public interface OrganizationMembershipPolicy

Provides the Organization Membership Policy interface, allowing customization of user membership regarding organizations and organization roles.

Organization Membership Policies define the organizations a user is allowed to be a member of, the organizations the user must be a member of, the organization roles the user is allowed to be assigned, and the organization roles the user must be assigned.

An implementation may include any number of rules and actions to enforce those rules. The implementation may include rules and actions like the following:

• If a user is a member of the organization he will automatically be a member of all its child organizations.
• Only the members of the parent organization can become a member of this organization.
• If a user doesn't have the custom attribute A, he cannot be assigned to organization B.
• If the user is added to organization A, he will automatically be added to organization B.
• The user must have the Administrator Role in order to be added to organization "Admin Organization".
• All users with the custom attribute A will automatically have the organization role B.
• All the users with organization role A cannot have organization role B (incompatible roles).

Liferay's core services invoke checkMembership(long[], long[], long[]) to detect policy violations before adding the users to and removing the users from the organizations. On passing the check, the service proceeds with the changes and propagates appropriate related actions in the portal by invoking propagateMembership(long[], long[], long[]). On failing the check, the service foregoes making the changes. For example, Liferay executes this logic when adding and updating organizations, adding and removing users with respect to organizations, and adding and removing organization roles with respect to users.

Liferay's UI calls the "is*" methods, such as isMembershipAllowed(long, long), to determine appropriate options to display to the user. For example, the UI calls isMembershipAllowed(long, long) to decide whether to enable the checkbox for adding the user to the organization.

Liferay's core services call isMembershipProtected(PermissionChecker, long, long) and isRoleProtected(PermissionChecker, long, long, long) to protect user organization memberships and organization role assignments, appropriately.

                  throws PortalException

Performs membership policy related actions after the users are added to and removed from the respective organizations. Liferay's core services call this method after adding and removing the users to and from the respective organizations.

The actions must ensure the integrity of each organization's membership policy. For example, some actions for implementations to consider performing are:

• Adding the users to the child organizations of each organization to which the users were added.
• Removing the users from the child organizations of each organization from which the users were removed.

Parameters:

userIds - the primary key of the users to be added or removed

addOrganizationIds - the primary keys of the organizations to which the users were added (optionally null)

removeOrganizationIds - the primary keys of the organizations from which the users were removed (optionally null)

Throws:

PortalException

propagateRoles

void propagateRoles(java.util.List<UserGroupRole> addUserGroupRoles,
                    java.util.List<UserGroupRole> removeUserGroupRoles)
             throws PortalException

Performs membership policy related actions after the respective organization roles are added to and removed from the affected users. Liferay's core services call this method after the roles are added to and removed from the users.

The actions must ensure the membership policy of each organization role. For example, some actions for implementations to consider performing are:

• If the role A is added to a user, role B should be added too.
• If the role A is removed from a user, role B should be removed too.

Parameters:

addUserGroupRoles - the user group roles added

removeUserGroupRoles - the user group roles removed

Throws:

PortalException

verifyPolicy

void verifyPolicy()
           throws PortalException

Checks the integrity of the membership policy of each of the portal's organizations and performs operations necessary for the compliance of each organization and organization role. This method can be triggered manually from the Control Panel. If the membership.policy.auto.verify portal property is true this method is triggered when starting Liferay and every time a membership policy hook is deployed.

Throws:

PortalException

verifyPolicy

void verifyPolicy(Organization organization)
           throws PortalException

Checks the integrity of the membership policy of the organization and performs operations necessary for the organization's compliance.

Parameters:

organization - the organization to verify

Throws:

PortalException

verifyPolicy

void verifyPolicy(Organization organization,
                  Organization oldOrganization,
                  java.util.List<AssetCategory> oldAssetCategories,
                  java.util.List<AssetTag> oldAssetTags,
                  java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.io.Serializable> oldExpandoAttributes)
           throws PortalException

Checks the integrity of the membership policy of the organization, with respect to the organization's new attribute values, categories, tags, and expando attributes, and performs operations necessary for the compliance of the organization and its organization roles. Liferay calls this method when adding and updating organizations.

The actions must ensure the integrity of the organization's membership policy based on what has changed in the organization's attribute values, categories, tags, and expando attributes.

For example, if the membership policy is that organizations with the "admnistrator" tag should only allow administrators as users, then this method could enforce that policy using the following logic:

• If the old tags include the "administrator" tag and the new tags include it too, then no action needs to be performed regarding the policy. Note, the new tags can be obtained by calling assetTagLocalService.getTags(Group.class.getName(), group.getGroupId());.
• If the old tags include the "administrator" tag and the new tags don't include it, then no action needs to be performed regarding the policy, as non-administrator users need not be removed.
• However, if the old tags don't include the "administrator" tag, but the new tags include it, any organization user that does not have the Administrator role must be removed from the organization.

Parameters:

organization - the added or updated organization to verify

oldOrganization - the old organization

oldAssetCategories - the old categories

oldAssetTags - the old tags

oldExpandoAttributes - the old expando attributes

Throws:

PortalException

verifyPolicy

void verifyPolicy(Role role)
           throws PortalException

Parameters:

role - the role to verify

Throws:

PortalException

                  Role oldRole,
                  java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.io.Serializable> oldExpandoAttributes)
           throws PortalException

Checks the integrity of the membership policy of the organization role, with respect to its expando attributes, and performs operations necessary for the role's compliance. Liferay calls this method when adding and updating organization roles.

Parameters:

role - the added or updated role to verify
