Class Permission

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

    public class Permission
extends Object
implements Serializable
    Retrieves a user's authority to an object.
    To improve performance, the Permission object caches authority changes until the commit() method is called. When commit()is called, all changes up to that point are sent to the system.
    The permission of an object is a collection of many users' authority to that object, and the UserPermission class is used to represent a user's authority to a object. Because there are three kinds of objects on the system, three subclasses of UserPermission are defined:
    • DLOPermission - Represents a user's authority to a Document Library Objects (DLO) stored in QDLS.
    • QSYSPermission - Represents a user's authority to the object which is contained in the system library structure and stored in QSYS.LIB.
    • RootPermission - Represents a user's authority to the object which is contained in the root directory structure. This includes everything that is not in QSYS.LIB or QDLS.
    Here is a simple example: 

     AS400 as400 = new AS400();
 Permission permission = new Permission(as400,"/QSYS.LIB/QJAVA.LIB");
 permission.addAuthorizedUser("user1");
 QSYSPermission userPermission = (QSYSPermission)permission.getUserPermission("user1");
 userPermission.setObjectAuthority("*CHANGE");
 permission.commit();
