IABACRules.IndexOf

Syntax

IndexOf(Value: IABACRule): Integer;

IndexOf(Prognoz.Platform.Interop.ABAC.IABACRule): System.Int32;

Parameters

Value. Rule value.

Description

The IndexOf method returns index of a rule in attribute-based access control policy.

Comments

If the specified rule is not found, the method returns -1.

Rules indexing starts with zero.

To get element of attribute-based access control structure by its index, use the IABACRules.Item property.

Example

To execute the example, make sure that attribute-based access control contains a policies set with two nested rules.

To execute the example, add links to the ABAC, Metabase, ForeSystem (for the Fore.NET example) system assemblies.

End Sub;

After executing the example the console displays the message:

Test rule

Index = 2
