Workspace permission using TFS api

Question

Hi,

I need to change the permissions other users workspaces.

The workspace is actually private and i need to change it to public to perform some operations and after back to private.

with command line i can perform this:

tf workspace /collection:COLLECTION WORKSPACE;USER /permission:Private|Public

there is a way to make this using the api?

Thanks

Hi LeoLambertucci,

 

Thanks for your post.

 

For how to change the Workspace’s permission using TFS API, please refer to this blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/phkelley/archive/2010/02/04/improvements-to-workspaces-in-tfs-2010.aspx.  

 

// Use the current directory to infer the workspace and TFS team project collection.

WorkspaceInfo wi = Workstation.Current.GetLocalWorkspaceInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory);

TfsTeamProjectCollection tpc = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(wi.ServerUri);

VersionControlServer vcs = tpc.GetService<VersionControlServer>();

Workspace workspace = vcs.GetWorkspace(wi);

 

// Get the identity service for the TPC.

IIdentityManagementService ims = tpc.GetService<IIdentityManagementService>();

 

// Get the security service for the TPC and use it to get the workspace security namespace.

ISecurityService security = tpc.GetService<ISecurityService>();

SecurityNamespace workspaceSecurityNamespace =

                       security.GetSecurityNamespace(SecurityConstants.WorkspaceSecurityNamespaceGuid);

 

// Get the access control list for the workspace, using the workspace's security token in the namespace.

AccessControlList acl = workspaceSecurityNamespace.QueryAccessControlList(workspace.SecurityToken,

                        null, false);
