Feature Request: Custom Permission Level

[Dade-R]

Please develop a method to create and update a custom permission level when defining a new RoleAssignment. Creating a custom permission level should be defined by either calling an .add() or .remove() function, or by calling a .copy() function and specifying an existing permission level with a name for the new permission level. You could then subsequently call either .add() or .remove() on the new permission level. This feature exists OOTB in the UI and would be a great addition to this framework. Below is a complete list of each permission in a permission level.

• List Permissions
  • Manage Lists
  • Override List Behaviors
  • Add Items
  • Edit Items
  • Delete Items
  • View Items
  • Approve Items
  • Open Items
  • View Versions
  • Delete Versions
  • Create Alerts
  • View Application Pages
• Site Permissions

  • View Web Analytics Data

The goal would be to support something like: permission.copy('Contribute', 'ContributeNoDelete'); permission.remove('ContributeNoDelete', ['Delete Items', 'Delete Versions']);

Added a new copyPermissionLevel helper method. This method will take the following properties:

{
  // Permissions to add
  AddPermissions?: [number];
  // Description of the permission level
  Description: string;
  // The name of the base permission to copy
  BasePermission: string;
  // The permission order
  Order?: number;
  // The name of the permission level to create
  Name: string;
  // Permissions to not copy over
  RemovePermissions?: [number];
  // The target site collection, current site by default
  WebUrl?: string;
}

Added to v6.9.1

import { Helper, SPTypes } from "gd-sprest";

// Copy and remove permissions
Helper.copyPermissionLevel({
  BasePermission: "Contribute",
  Name: "Contribute no Delete",
  Description: "Edit permissions - Delete",
  RemovePermissions: [SPTypes.BasePermissionTypes.DeleteListItems]
});

// Copy and add permissions
Helper.copyPermissionLevel({
  BasePermission: "Contribute",
  Name: "Contribute add Web",
  Description: "Edit permissions + Create Web",
  AddPermissions: [SPTypes.BasePermissionTypes.ManageSubwebs]
});
