Export Folder Permission to File

Matthew aDAMS Aug 4, 2015 4:20 PM

I'm not sure if this is the correct group to ask this question as I'm sure the answer is somewhere in API, but here goes.

Has anyone found a way to Export all group and user permissions to an external file? I know that import/export vault setting will not bring folder permissions with it. My thought is that if I can get this out into a XML, CVS or TXT file this will give us a "road map" to know what the permission are if we are to lose the vault. I do have limited API experience but I am not sure how to approach this. I'm hoping that there is some feature that I am not aware of already in the software.

We are using EPDM 2014, SP 4.0.

Thanks!

Matthew

Sorry man, I think the API is the only way to get an output like that.

Hi Mathew,

I work for a VAR in Minnesota and just to confirm that is correct there is no way to do this through the UI. I wrote an application that our customers and us use that accomplishes this. The tool will copy permissions from one vault to another as well as save the permissions out to a file. However if you are doing this as a form of backup it is not necessary as the EPDM SQL database contains all these permissions so if you are backing up your SQL database then you would be covered.

  Thanks Clark,
  That what I was thinking but was not sure. This is not for backup, this is to move folder permissions form the "Test" vault to the "Production" vault.
