List user permissions programmatically in Thingworx 9.7

[Bhavya_PC]

Hi All,
I'm trying to find a way to programmatically list all entity permissions for a specific user or user group in Thingworx 9.7?

I've already searched the PTC community and found these two threads, but they haven't resolved my issue.
Solved: Permisions for users and groups - PTC Community
Solved: Re: List a User's, Group's, or Org's Permissions - PTC Community

The main problem is that the CheckPermissionDataShape is missing in Thingworx 9.7. I attempted to create my own data shape with required fields based on the documentation, but it is not working as expected.

Does anyone know of an alternative method or a workaround to programmatically retrieve a list of all entity permissions for user or user group in Thingworx 9.7? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Bhavya

Hi @Bhavya_PC,

"The main problem is that the CheckPermissionDataShape is missing in Thingworx 9.7."

↑　I don't think any thingworx version has an OOTB datashape named "CheckPermissionDataShape"; this is supposed to be a custom datashape.

What fields you wish to output as a result is dependent on your business needs. (If you review the step 2 of the reply: "2. Create a datashape that is used for listing the result of permission")

In the https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/List-a-User-s-Group-s-or-Org-s-Permissions/m-p/732978#M52566 's example, each field (user, entity, PropertyRead etc.)'s value of the result infotable is set in the for loop

 row.user=UserName;
 row.entity=entities[i].name;
 row.PropertyRead = ...;
 row.PropertyWrite = ...;
 row.serviceInvoke = ...;
 row.EventInvoke = ...;
 row.EventSubscribe = ...;

Best,
