Hi,

I am trying to find a user or user group who has access to the Page resource using APIs (Jackrabbit APIs) . I could not find any API which gives the Users or User Group of page resource. For ex: i have a page resource /content/geometrix/mens.html , first i want to find out what user group has access to this resource. Use case for this scenarios is: Authors or users should have only read only access to that page.

Sri.

As smacdonald2008 mentioned you need a business logic to handle this in your servlet.

UserManager (Adobe AEM 6.0.0 API 6.0.0 API) provides it.

look into this

`Iterator<Authorizable>`	`findAuthorizables(Query query)` Return `Authorizable`s that match a specific `Query`.
`Iterator<Authorizable>`	`findAuthorizables(String relPath, String value)` Returns all `Authorizable`s that have a `property` with the given relative path (or name) that matches the specified value.
`Iterator<Authorizable>`	`findAuthorizables(String relPath, String value, int searchType)` Returns all `Authorizable`s that have a `property` with the given relative path (or name) that matches the specified value.
`Authorizable`	`getAuthorizable(Principal principal)` Get the Authorizable by its Principal.
`Authorizable`	`getAuthorizable(String id)` Get the Authorizable by its id.

public boolean hasWriteAccess(Resource resource , Session userSession) throws RepositoryException {

Node pageNode = resource.adaptTo(Node.class);

String path = pageNode.getPath();

try {

userSession.checkPermission(path, "add_node,set_property");

if(pageNode.hasNode(JcrConstants.JCR_CONTENT)) {

String contentNodePath = path + "/" + "jcr:content";

userSession.checkPermission(contentNodePath, "add_node,set_property");

}

} catch(java.security.AccessControlException e) {

return false;

}

return true;

}

I think my problem is not clear. Let me explain that again.

Author has created a page (Mens.html) and also a user (user1) . Author assigned read only Access to user 1 for Mens.html resource. I have made few changes in the Side kick bar and introduced a new option (Send Email). When clicked, it calls Servlet, passing only the resourcepath which is mens.html. Using this resource path, i need to find out which users or user groups are associated to it then dynamically revoke access to this page after sending email. User is other than the Author.
