Creating/Deleting Privileges via TestStand API

[alexm1]

Hello,

I am writing a User Management Toolkit in LabVIEW that will integrate a TestStand storage. One thing I would like to do is create/delete privileges if there are no longer any users that have that privilege. I'm curious if there's any way to create/delete privileges globally so that all users will have/no longer have a privilege. I noticed that the privileges object is read only. Is this possible? Is there any work around? Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hi alexm1,

You can use the TestStand API to read and modify the privileges that users have.  The example below modifies the GrantAll property to TRUE for a single user.

Hope this helps

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply! I've figured out how to set privileges as you described. What I am looking to do here is actually create new privileges programmatically. I believe I figured out how to make a new privilege using the following code, which adds the privilege to a container called "Custom". However, I'm not sure if deleting privileges is possible or not. I'm still exploring this, and will update this post if I figure it out.
