Turn off inherited permissions on task level using Fusion / API

Hello,

 

perhaps I just looked at the wrong places, but I am trying to find a solution for this:

 

If a task is set to a specific status, the users should not be able to modify the dates within the task.
As I am not aware of any other solution, I would like to implement the following workaround, which fulfils my needs.

 

Since we have the new sharing modal, there is the possibility to turn off inherited permissions. Afterwards I would like to grant access to the project's group with view access only. This will prevent editing all fields in the task, but I think there is no other way.

 

Now I need to find a solution to automate this using Fusion:

 

Watch Event for status change -> Turn off inherited permissions -> Grant access to project group

 

Does anybody know, if there is an easy way to do that?

 

In the meantime I will have a look at the ACSRUL endpoint and try my luck...

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards

Lars

    We turned off inherited permissions on a folder. I'm sure it's the same. I hope this helps.

    I don't know the answer, but if you figure out how to enable/disable inherited permissions, please let me know 🙂

    Hello Rafal,

     

    I did bit "reverse engineering" and found out some stuff, but unfortunately I was not successful at the end.

     

    • per default: inherited Permissions is turned on, only directly visible in the UI

      • the collection accessRules is empty "accessRules": []

      • the fields securityRootID & securityRootObjCode are relating to the parent project

      • using the unsupported API there is also a field  called securityAncestorsDisabled which is set to false, if the inheritance is turned on, and to true, if turned off. Unfortunately I cannot modify this field using the API / Fusion, although I do not get an error message

    • If an additional rule is created, all rules of the parent object are applied to the object and get isInherited: true and the fields securityRootID & securityRootObjCode get related to the task itself. Both fields are read_only.

     

    It is absolutely frustrating, as I tried around a lot, but without success.

     

    Perhaps someone has another idea...

     

    Regards

    Lars

      I also tried to use the Misc Action module to move the task to the exact same project with the option

      clearPermissions, but the permissions are still inherited afterwards...
