Method Detail

getActionFlags

Set<String> getActionFlags(View view,
                           ViewModel model,
                           Person user,
                           Set<String> actions)

Returns the set of action flags that are authorized for the given user

Action flags are created for views to indicate some action or feature should be enabled. These flags can be used within expressions for configuring the view content. For example:

For each action flag, KIM is consulted to determine if a permission exist for the template associated with the action flag. If so, a check is then made to determine if the user has that permission. If the permission fails for the user, the action flag is removed from the returned set.

The Set of available action flags should first be exported by the ViewPresentationController.getActionFlags(View, org.kuali.rice.krad.web.form.UifFormBase) method. The set returned from this method will be passed as the method argument here by the framework.

Parameters:

view - - view instance the action flags apply to

model - - object containing the view data

user - - user we are authorizing the actions for

actions - - set of action flags to authorize

Returns:

Set set of action flags that have been authorized, this will be equal to or a subset of the actions passed in

getEditModes

Set<String> getEditModes(View view,
                         ViewModel model,
                         Person user,
                         Set<String> editModes)

Returns the set of edit modes that are authorized for the given user

An edit mode is a string that identifies a set of editable fields within the view. These are generally used when the entire view is not editable, but only certain fields. A field can be associated with an edit mode in two ways. The first is by using the edit mode in an expression when setting the field readOnly property. For example: The second way is with the ViewPresentationController.canEditField(View, ViewModel, org.kuali.rice.krad.uif.field.Field, String) method which can look at the edit modes map on the view to determine if the given field should be editable.

For each edit mode, KIM is consulted to determine if a permission exist for the 'Use View' template and the edit mode detail. If so, a check is then made to determine if the user has that permission. If the permission fails for the user, the edit mode is removed from the returned set.

The Set of available edit modes should first be exported by the ViewPresentationController.getEditModes(View, org.kuali.rice.krad.web.form.UifFormBase) method. The set returned from this method will be passed as the method argument here by the framework.

Parameters:

view - - view instance the edit modes apply to

model - - object containing the view data

user - - user we are authorizing the actions for

editModes - - set of edit modes to authorize

Returns:

Set set of edit modes that have been authorized, this will be equal to or a subset of the edit mode set passed in
