Issue
How do I get the list of Roles from the Vault server?
Solution
We will need to use the Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.AdminService class for this.
In my previous post I explained how to get the list of the Vault server users. Let’s continue working with the same code sample and add a ListRoles() method to our AdminSample class:
// List all roles in the database //=============================================================== public static void ListRoles() { using (MyVaultServiceManager mgr = new MyVaultServiceManager( MyVaultServiceManager.Mode.ReadOnly)) { try { // GetAllRoles() - this is the way to get all the Roles //------------------------------------------------------ Role[] roles = mgr.Services.AdminService.GetAllRoles(); // Prepare a string to show the Roles in a message box string msg = "Id | Namen"; msg += "-------------n"; foreach (Role role in roles) msg += role.Id.ToString() + ": " + role.Name + "n"; MessageBox.Show(msg, "Roles found"); // This is how we do find some arbitrary role Role admin = FindRole(roles, "Administrator"); if (admin != null) MessageBox.Show("Administrator role Id is " + admin.Id.ToString()); } catch (System.Exception err) { MessageBox.Show(err.ToString()); } // try } // using } // ListRoles()Also, in this piece of code we look for a role called “Administrator”, for this purpose we’ve created a very simple function which iterates through the roles array:
// Find a role by its name. // Parameters: - An array of roles; // - Role name to find. // Returns the found Role or null, if didn't find. //=============================================================== private static Role FindRole(Role[] i_roles, string i_roleName) { Role found = null; foreach(Role role in i_roles) if (role.Name == i_roleName) { found = role; break; } return found; } This is the program output showing the list of Roles that exist in Vault by default:
