How-to: add explicit owner rights
Your application should explicitly add "Owner" rights when creating a license from scratch (IpcCreateLicenseFromScratch).
Prerequisites
When your application is creating a license handle using IpcCreateLicenseFromScratch, it must also grant the owner full rights (permissions) explicitly.
Note
Setting a user as "owner" using IpcSetLicenseProperty with the IPC_LI_OWNER property does not grant the owner full permissions.
The following example code only represents the steps involved in creating and adding the specific rights to a given license.
Instructions
Step 1: Example scenario
In this example, needed rights are added to a license created with IpcCreateLicenseFromScratch. The example shows the creation and assignment of the rights to the license through a rights list.
The following two rights are added to these users:
- Read permissions assigned to joe@contoso.com
- Full permissions assigned to mary_kay@contoso.com
// Create User Rights structure
IPC_USER_RIGHTS ownerRightForOwner = {0};
// Create rights
LPCWSTR rgwszOwnerRights[1] = {IPC_GENERIC_ALL};
// Assign values to members of Rights structure
ownerRightForOwner.User.dwType = IPC_USER_TYPE_IPC;
ownerRightForOwner.User.wszID = IPC_USER_ID_OWNER;
ownerRightForOwner.rgwszRights = rgwszOwnerRights;
ownerRightForOwner.cRights = 1;
// Create User Rights structure for Joe with Read permissions
IPC_USER_RIGHTS joeReadRight = {0};
LPCWSTR rgwszReadRights[1] = {IPC_GENERIC_READ};
// Assign values to members of Rights structure for Joe
joeReadRight.User.dwType = IPC_USER_TYPE_EMAIL;
joeReadRight.User.wszID = L"joe@contoso.com";
joeReadRight.rgwszRights = rgwszReadRights;
joeReadRight.cRights = 1;
// Create User Rights structure for Mary Kay with Full permissions
IPC_USER_RIGHTS mary_kayFullRight = {0};
LPCWSTR rgwszFullRights[1] = {IPC_GENERIC_ALL};
// Assign values to members of Rights structure for Mary Kay
mary_kayFullRight.User.dwType = IPC_USER_TYPE_EMAIL;
mary_kayFullRight.User.wszID = L"mary_kay@contoso.com";
mary_kayFullRight.rgwszRights = rgwszFullRights;
mary_kayFullRight.cRights = 1;
// Create User Rights List and assign the above rights
size_t uNoOfUserRights = 3;
PIPC_USER_RIGHTS_LIST pUserRightsList = NULL;
pUserRightsList = reinterpret_cast<PIPC_USER_RIGHTS_LIST>(new BYTE[ sizeof(IPC_USER_RIGHTS_LIST) +
uNoOfUserRights * sizeof(IPC_USER_RIGHTS)]);
if(pUserRightsList == NULL)
{
// Handle error
}
// Assign values to members of Rights List structure for Joe and Mary Kay
(*pUserRightsList).cbSize = sizeof(IPC_USER_RIGHTS_LIST);
(*pUserRightsList).cUserRights = uNoOfUserRights;
(*pUserRightsList).rgUserRights[0] = ownerRightForOwner;
(*pUserRightsList).rgUserRights[1] = joeReadRight;
(*pUserRightsList).rgUserRights[2] = mary_kayFullRight;
// Set the Rights List property on the license via its handle
// hLicense is a license handle created with IpcCreateLicenseFromScratch
hr = IpcSetLicenseProperty(hLicense, FALSE, IPC_LI_USER_RIGHTS_LIST, pUserRightsList);
if(FAILED(hr))
{
// Handle the error
}
