Add access rules to the specified object.

Source: R/SystemMetadata.R, R/DataObject.R, R/DataPackage.R
addAccessRule.Rd

Add one or more access rules to the access policy of the specified object.

Usage

addAccessRule(x, ...)

# S4 method for SystemMetadata
addAccessRule(x, y, ...)

# S4 method for DataObject
addAccessRule(x, y, ...)

# S4 method for DataPackage
addAccessRule(x, y, ...)

Arguments

x

The object instance to which to add the rules

...

Additional arguments

  • permission The permission to be applied to subject if x is character (read, write, changePermission)

y

The subject of the rule to be added, or a data frame of subject/permission tuples

Value

The SystemMetadata object with the updated access policy.

The DataObject with the updated access policy

The DataPackage with updated DataObject access policies

Details

If the y argument is specified as a character string containing a subject, then an optional permission parameter must be specified, that contains a character list specifying the permissions to add for each subject.

Note that when addAccessRule is called with a `DataPackage` argument, the additional parameter identifiers can be used:

  • identifiers A list of character values containing package member identifiers that the access rule will be applied to (all members is the default).

Examples

# Add an access rule to a SystemMetadata access policy.
# Parameter "y" can be character string containing the subject of the access rule:
sysmeta <- new("SystemMetadata")
sysmeta <- addAccessRule(sysmeta, "uid=smith,ou=Account,dc=example,dc=com", "write")
accessRules <- data.frame(subject=c("uid=smith,ou=Account,dc=example,dc=com", 
  "uid=slaughter,o=unaffiliated,dc=example,dc=org"), permission=c("write", "changePermission"))
sysmeta <- addAccessRule(sysmeta, accessRules)
# Alternatively, parameter "y" can be a data.frame containing one or more access rules:
sysmeta <- addAccessRule(sysmeta, "uid=smith,ou=Account,dc=example,dc=com", "write")
accessRules <- data.frame(subject=c("uid=smith,ou=Account,dc=example,dc=com", 
  "uid=slaughter,o=unaffiliated,dc=example,dc=org"), permission=c("write", "changePermission"))
sysmeta <- addAccessRule(sysmeta, accessRules)
# Add an access rule to a DataObject
data <- charToRaw("1,2,3\n4,5,6\n")
obj <- new("DataObject", id="1234", dataobj=data, format="text/csv")
obj <- addAccessRule(obj, "uid=smith,ou=Account,dc=example,dc=com", "write")
# Add an access rule to members of a DataPackage
# First create a sample DataPackage
dp <- new("DataPackage")
data <- charToRaw("1,2,3\n4,5,6\n")
obj <- new("DataObject", id="id1", dataobj=data, format="text/csv")
dp <- addMember(dp, obj)
data2 <- charToRaw("7,8,9\n4,10,11\n")
obj2 <- new("DataObject", id="id2", dataobj=data2, format="text/csv")
dp <- addMember(dp, obj2)
# Add access rule to all package members
dp <- addAccessRule(dp, "uid=smith,ou=Account,dc=example,dc=com", "write", getIdentifiers(dp))
