Using ExternalUserService to assign roles

[jjjooonnn]

Hi,

 

We have an application that links to JasperServer. Logging in to Jasper can be done programatically using the ExternalUserService class (makeUserLoggedIn method) - are there any similar methods or classes to add roles, if not already present for the user, in a similar way? I cannot find documentation for this.

 

Alternatively we could insert into the jasperserver userrole table (jiuserrole).

 

Thanks very much,

Jon

Roles passed in with the externally authenticated users are created in JasperServer. Such imported roles must be manually granted access to repository objects.

 

Hope this helps,
