NAME

RT::SharedSetting - an API for settings that belong to an RT::User or RT::Group

SYNOPSIS

  use RT::SharedSetting;

DESCRIPTION

A RT::SharedSetting is an object that can belong to an RT::User or an <RT::Group>. It consists of an ID, a name, and some arbitrary data.

METHODS

new

Returns a new RT::SharedSetting object. Takes the current user, see also RT::Base.

Load

Takes a privacy specification and a shared-setting ID. Loads the given object ID if it belongs to the stated user or group. Calls the "PostLoad" method on success for any further initialization. Returns a tuple of status and message, where status is true on success.

LoadById

First loads up the RT::Attribute for this shared setting by ID, then calls "Load" with the correct parameters. Returns a tuple of status and message, where status is true on success.

PostLoad

Called after a successful "Load".

PostLoadValidate

Called just before returning success from "Load"; may be used to validate that the record is correct. This method is expected to return a (ok, msg) pair.

Save

Creates a new shared setting. Takes a privacy, a name, and any other arguments. Saves the given parameters to the appropriate user/group object, and loads the resulting object. Arguments are passed to the "SaveAttribute" method, which does the actual update. Returns a tuple of status and message, where status is true on success. Defaults are:

  Privacy:  CurrentUser only
  Name:     "new (ObjectName)"

SaveAttribute

An empty method for subclassing. Called from "Save" method.

Update

Updates the parameters of an existing shared setting. Any arguments are passed to the "UpdateAttribute" method. Returns a tuple of status and message, where status is true on success.

UpdateAttribute

An empty method for subclassing. Called from "Update" method.

Delete

Deletes the existing shared setting. Returns a tuple of status and message, where status is true upon success.

Name

Returns the name of this shared setting.

Id

Returns the numerical ID of this shared setting.

Privacy

Returns the principal object to whom this shared setting belongs, in a string "<class>-<id>", e.g. "RT::Group-16".

GetParameter

IsVisibleTo Privacy

Returns true if the setting is visible to all principals of the given privacy. This does not deal with ACLs, this only looks at membership.
