IABACEvaluatedObject.Parent

Syntax

Parent: Object;

Description

The Parent property enables the user to get parent element for the specified element of the attribute-based access control structure.

Comments

The first level of elements hierarchy is used as the top parent element.

Example

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

To execute the example, add links to the ABAC and Metabase system assemblies.

Sub Main;
Var
    PolicyObject: IABACRootPolicyObject;
    PolicySet, PolicySet2: IABACPolicySet;
    MB: IMetabase;
    MS: IMetabaseSecurity;
    Lic: Object;
    Parent: Object;
    s: string;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get license to be able to work with the security manager
    Lic := MB.RequestLicense(UiLicenseFeatureType.Adm);
    MS := MB.Security;
    PolicyObject := MB.Security.Policy.ABACRules;
    // Get the first policies set in attribute-based access control structure
    PolicySet := PolicyObject.Policies.Item(0);
    // Get the first policies set in the selected set
    PolicySet2 := PolicySet.PolicySets.Item(0);
    //Set parent element for selected set
    Parent := PolicySet2.Parent;
    //Determine whether parent element is on the first hierarchy level
    If Parent <> Null Then
        s := s + "parent";
        If Parent Is IABACRootPolicyObject Then
            s := s + " is a root";
        Else
            s := s + " is not a root";
        End If;
    Else
        s := s + "parent is empty";
    End If;
    Debug.WriteLine(s);
    // Check in license
    Lic := Null;
End Sub Main;

After executing the example the following message is displayed in the console:

parent is not a root
