IABACRules.IndexOf

Syntax

IndexOf(Value: IABACRule): Integer;

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 attribute-based access control structure element 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 and Metabase system assemblies.

Sub Main;
Var
    PolicyObject: IABACRootPolicyObject;
    PolicySet: IABACPolicySet;
    Policy: IABACPolicy;
    Rules: IABACRules;
    Rule: IABACRule;
    MB: IMetabase;
    MS: IMetabaseSecurity;
    Lic: Object;
    Index: Integer;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get license to be able to work with the security manager
    Lic := MB.RequestLicense(UiLicenseFeatureType.Adm);
    MS := MB.Security;
    // Get attribute-based access control
    PolicyObject := MB.Security.Policy.ABACRules;
    // Get policy with the 1 index in the first policies set
    PolicySet := PolicyObject.Policies.Item(0);
    Policy := PolicySet.Policies.Item(0);
    // Add a rule
    Rules := Policy.Rules;
    Rule := Rules.Add;
    Rule.Name(LocaleCodeID.Russian) := "Test rule";
    Rule.Id := "RULE";
    // Get rule index
    Index := Rules.IndexOf(Rule);
    // Display rule name and index in the console
    Debug.WriteLine(Rule.Name(MB.CurrentLocale));
    Debug.WriteLine("Index = " + Index.ToString);
    // Check in license
    Lic := Null;
End Sub Main;

After executing the example the console displays the message:

Test rule

Index = 2
