Tim,

 

Im sorry, but I think your query doesn’t work in 2.1.5, there are a couple tweaks to change in the code to make it work:

 

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-932

 

Can you edit the file or get is from SVN and build the WS and try it again?

 

Thanks,

Chris

Yeah, I need an example because no matter what subject I query on, it returns:

 

<WsGetMembershipsResults>

<resultMetadata>

<resultCode>SUCCESS</resultCode>

<resultMessage>Found 0 results involving 0 groups and 0 subjects</resultMessage>

<success>T</success>

</resultMetadata>

<responseMetadata>

<resultWarnings/>

<millis>21</millis>

<serverVersion>2.1.5</serverVersion>

</responseMetadata>

</WsGetMembershipsResults>

 

And this is the query I'm using:

 

https://grouper.arizona.edu/grouper-ws/servicesRest/xml/v2_1_005/subjects/123456789/memberships?wsLiteObjectType=WsRestGetMembershipsLiteRequest&actAsSubjectId=GrouperSystem&fieldName=creators

I haven’t tried it, but in theory you should be able to call the getMemberships operation, passing in the subject, and the field is “creators” I believe, and it should return a bunch of memberships.  Get the stems in each of those and it is your answer.  Does it work, or do you want me to make an example?

 

Thanks,

Chris

Hi, I upgraded to 2.1.5, but I'm afraid I can't figure out how to construct a REST query that gives me what I want, namely all stems that a particular subject has create privilege on.

Ok, this is done.  If you get the latest API and WS from v2.1 branch, and build those, it should work fine.

 

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-926

 

This is fixed.

 

The getMemberships and getMembershipsLite service can now lookup privileges for groups, stems, and attribute definitions.

 

The field param, can now take:

 

attrReaders, attrViewers, attrUpdaters, stemmers, creators, etc.

 

Note, by default only list memberships are returned.

 

If you want all privs in a certain type, pass in a fieldType: list, access, naming, attributeDef.

 

You can lookup stems, or attributeDefs to see privs by owner.

 

The result will return WsStems, or WsAttributeDefs if the query is by stem or attributeDef.

 

The Grouper Client can now take these inputs as well.

 

Note: privileges do not inherit actions, so if you want to see if someone can VIEW a group, you need to see if that user or GrouperAll can VIEW, READ, UPDATE, etc...

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

Thanks,

Chris

I think the best bet is the getMemberships operation, but unfortunately it wont work for privileges right now.  I could make some edits and you could get latest and recompile if you like.  Are you on 2.1?  Let me know

I need a query that returns, for a given user, all stems where they have create privilege.  Again, I've tried the get privileges interface but it's too slow and the get subjects interface won't take a stems query.

Yeah, should have mentioned this earlier, sorry… the getGrouperPrivilegesLite WS uses the privilege resolver interface, and is not efficient at all for that type of query (groups for a user).  The other operations can do privilege fields, and should be quicker.  For instance, in this case, you could do something like this:

Subject: [grouper-users] REST interface performance

 

I'm using the get grouper privileges lite interface to get a list of the groups that a given user has admin rights on and basically copied the sample query on the wiki, right down to using actAsSubjectId=GrouperSystem. For a user that has admin rights on 14 groups, this takes on average 3 minutes to return, which seems like a lot of time. Should this be faster?
