How to handle users with same name
Hi, I'm asking community what type of solutions are you using to handle users with same first name and surname. As you know the Identity is created based on user first name and last name and in default (and we like to keep it so) the Identity name needs to be unique. Currently our users comes trough integration and their login ID is unique but there are people with same name that causes "Already exists" issue We are thinking to add unique login identifier to the surname field but that is visually a bit distracting. Any other ways you guys have resolved these types of issues?

Batch Delete Identity Memberships
Hello, We have used the batchloader utility to create new memberships in Innovator. It appears that removals are a bit more difficult due to safeguards in place for the system. What is an easy path forward in creating an AML script (or method) to accomplish this task? For example, we have 89 identities that had incorrect identity membership assignments. The goal is to remove existing memberships of an identity and add a different identity. --Corbin

Customizing BatchLoader in ARAS 31 to Add Users with Identities
Hi everyone, I recently migrated from ARAS version 11 to version 31. In ARAS 11, we used the BatchLoader tool to import user data from an Excel file, which included both user details and their associated identities. However, after migrating to ARAS 31, I noticed that the BatchLoader no longer supports adding users and identities together in a single operation. The AML mapping now restricts us to using only one ItemType at a time, which makes it difficult to replicate our previous process. Has anyone tried customizing the BatchLoader in ARAS 31 to overcome this limitation? I’d really appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to achieve this. Thanks in advance for your help! — Salini

Workflow Assignment - provide 2 assignments based on property
I have a workflow map defined with several activities. And I have an itemtype "XYZ" where on the item form I have an boolean property "ABC". Condition is, if the ABC property on the item form is check marked then the 2 activities on the workflow map should be assigned to "Engineering" identity to perform Vote Now action. If not (uncheked) then it should be assigned to the one which is defined in the workflow map assignment identity. Please provide solution for this.

Change permission for "view item" option(right click menu) of Documents under Operations
Under Process Plan(mpp_processPlans) --> Operations(mpp_operations) --> documents Some of these documents under an operation are "invalidated". The documents are assigned "invalidated" status from Document-->Part when the "valid" option is changed to "No"(screenshot below). The user has the ability to right click on the any of the documents and select "view item" (picture below) to open the document container (screenshot below). I need this "view item" functionality to work for a certain identity when the document is "invalid" Currently, if the document is "invalid" user can't open it from here but the document opens if one searched for it manually. I can't figure out where does this "view item" option come from and where and how was this right-click menu even generated. Can someone point me in the right direction, please. Thanks!

Code Snippet: Generic, Reusable Code to Get All Identities In a Group
Hello everyone, Here is a code snippet to retrieve all identities in a identity (group) recursively. As I faced this requirement multiple times, and Innovator not having a standard function for it, I decided to create it myself. [embed:dc8ab71f-3b98-42d9-b0f6-e21e02a0f8e2:609a024f-f7a3-41b9-8f03-c991fd46edd3:type=csharp&text=%2F%2F%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%0A%2F%2F%20%5BAUTHOR%5D%3A%20SOFTWERK%3A%20D.%20Theoden%0A%2F%2F%20%5BCREATED%20ON%5D%3A%202024-01-18%0A%2F%2F%20%5BMETHOD%5D%3A%20aer_get_identities_in_group.cs%0A%2F%2F%20---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------%0A%2F%2F%20%5BDESCRIPTION%5D%3A%0A%2F%2F%20Generic%2C%20reusable%20code%20to%20get%20all%20users%20in%20a%20group.%20Implements%20trick%20to%20use%20functions%0A%2F%2F%20inside%20Aras%20Innovator%20server%20methods.%0A%2F%2F%20---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------%0A%2F%2F%20%5BCHANGES%5D%3A%0A%2F%2F%20REF%20NO%20%20%20%20%20%20%20DATE%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20WHO%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20DETAIL%0A%2F%2F%20%23001%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%202024-01-22%20%20%20%20%20%20D.%20Theoden%20%20%20%20%20%20Initial%20version.%0A%2F%2F%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%0A%0A%2F%2F%20Define%20parameters%0AItem%20item%20%3D%20this%3B%0AInnovator%20inn%20%3D%20item.getInnovator%28%29%3B%0AList%3Cstring%3E%20userIdentities%20%3D%20new%20List%3Cstring%3E%28%29%3B%0A%0AItem%20initialIdentity%20%3D%20inn.getItemById%28%22Identity%22%2C%20%22804E11705E1D4E98AEBBDB8E9AFC0B7C%22%29%3B%20%2F%2F%20Your%20existing%20logic%20to%20get%20a%20%28group%29%20identity%0AProcessIdentity%28initialIdentity%2C%20inn%2C%20userIdentities%29%3B%0A%0A%2F%2F%20Rest%20of%20your%20logic%20here.%20All%20recursively%20found%20identities%20are%20now%20stored%20in%20userIdentites%20array.%20%0Areturn%20this%3B%0A%0A%7D%20%2F%2F%20Allow%20functions%20in%20server%20methods%20Part%20A%3A%20extra%20curly%20brace.%20This%20is%20NOT%20a%20mistake.%0A%0A%2F%2F%20Function%20to%20recursively%20process%20identities%20and%20add%20unique%20users%20to%20the%20list%0Avoid%20ProcessIdentity%28Item%20identity%2C%20Innovator%20inn%2C%20List%3Cstring%3E%20userIdentities%29%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20if%20%28identity.getProperty%28%22is_alias%22%2C%20%22%22%29%20%3D%3D%20%221%22%29%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%2F%2F%20Add%20user%20identity%20if%20it%27s%20unique%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20string%20userId%20%3D%20identity.getID%28%29%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20if%20%28%21userIdentities.Contains%28userId%29%29%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20userIdentities.Add%28userId%29%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%7D%0A%20%20%20%20%7D%20else%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%2F%2F%20Process%20group%20members%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20Item%20groupMembers%20%3D%20inn.applyAML%28%22%3CAML%3E%3CItem%20type%3D%27Member%27%20action%3D%27get%27%20select%3D%27related_id%27%3E%3Crelated_id%3E%3CItem%20type%3D%27Identity%27%20action%3D%27get%27%3E%3C%2FItem%3E%3C%2Frelated_id%3E%3Csource_id%3E%22%20%2B%20identity.getID%28%29%20%2B%20%22%3C%2Fsource_id%3E%3C%2FItem%3E%3C%2FAML%3E%22%29%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20int%20memberCount%20%3D%20groupMembers.getItemCount%28%29%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20for%20%28int%20j%20%3D%200%3B%20j%20%3C%20memberCount%3B%20j%2B%2B%29%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20Item%20member%20%3D%20groupMembers.getItemByIndex%28j%29%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20Item%20memberIdentity%20%3D%20member.getRelatedItem%28%29%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20ProcessIdentity%28memberIdentity%2C%20inn%2C%20userIdentities%29%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%7D%0A%20%20%20%20%7D%0A%7D%0A%0A%2F%2F%20Any%20more%20functions%20of%20your%20own...%0A%0Avoid%20enableFunctionsInMethods%28%29%20%7B%20%2F%2F%20Allow%20functions%20in%20server%20methods%20Part%20B%3A%20opening%20dummy%20method.%20This%20is%20NOT%20a%20mistake.] I hope this saves you some time too.

Calling SearchDialog from Server method
Hi, Is it possible to show SearchDialog from a Server method? I can use MaximazableDialog in Javascript to show the SearchDialog and get the response in callback. But I want to use such facility in a Server method. In my particular case, I am trying to send email using a server method. If the Recipent is already entered then it sends the email. But I want to prompt the user to search for another user item when Recipient is not pre-defined. If that is not possible then any alternative suggestions will be appreciated. Kind Regards, Vikas

How to use GrantIdentity ?
Hi, On ARAS R12, in server methods, I needed to grant temporary some rights. For that, I did something like this: var myidentity = Aras.Server.Security.Identity.GetByName("My Identity"); bool PermissionWasSet = Aras.Server.Security.Permissions.GrantIdentity(); try { /**************YOUR SPECIAL CODE HERE***************/ finally { if (PermissionWasSet) Aras.Server.Security.Permissions.RevokeIdentity(myidentity); } Due to deprecated API, on ARAS R19, I need to use CCO.Permissions.GrantIdentity but this method doesn't return a boolean to know if the identity has been granted or not. How should I do ? When and how to do the RevokeIdentity ? Is this enough ? using (CCO.Permissions.GrantIdentity(Aras.Server.Security.Identity.GetByName("My Identity"))) { /**************YOUR SPECIAL CODE HERE***************/ } Thank you in advance for your answer.

Add User Identity
Good day all. We have created an Identity called sm_AddUsers (v11 SP10). We have a separate team that is taking over the responsibilities of adding users to the system and they do not require any other elevated privileges, so I don't want to add them to the Administrators Identity. I can't seem to get this Identity setup correctly with permissions to be able to add users. The current error they receive is Add access is denied for Alias. Aras.Server.Core.PermissionsNoCanAddFoundException I went through User, Alias, Identity, and Member ItemTypes and made sure the Identity was in Can Add and the permissions where set the same as the Administrators (except User, they cannot delete). I'm at a loss for why this is happening. Is there something else that affects who can add a User? Thank you for your help.
