Gg926091.pubmethod(en-us,AX.60).gif notify Releases the hold on an object that has called the wait method on this object. (Inherited from Object.)
Gg926091.pubmethod(en-us,AX.60).gif notifyAll Releases a lock on the object that was issued by the wait method on this object. (Inherited from Object.)
Gg926091.pubmethod(en-us,AX.60).gif objectOnServer Determines whether the object is on a server. (Inherited from Object.)
Gg926091.pubmethod(en-us,AX.60).gif owner Returns the instance that owns the object. (Inherited from Object.)
Gg926091.pubmethod(en-us,AX.60).gif setTimeOut Sets up the scheduled execution of a specified method. (Inherited from Object.)
Gg926091.pubmethod(en-us,AX.60).gif toString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Gg926091.pubmethod(en-us,AX.60).gif usageCount Returns the current number of references, that is, the value of the reference counter, that the object has. (Inherited from Object.)
Gg926091.pubmethod(en-us,AX.60).gif wait Pauses a process. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

You must call the assert method on the same tier, usually the server tier, that the corresponding CodeAccessPermission.demand method is called on before the protected API is executed. Call a method on the server tier from one of the following:

The RunAsPermission class is designed to check permissions for the runAs function. For a list of all APIs protected by permissions, see Secured APIs.

  • A server static method

    –or–

  • A class instance method that is set to run on the server by using the RunOn class property

Examples

The following code example shows a new instance of the RunAsPermission class.

The assert method is called to declare that the code can then call the runAs function to run the EventJobDueDate.:runDueDateEventsForUser method in the security context of another user.

server static void main(Args args) 
{ 
    RunAsPermission _perm; 
    UserId          _runAsUser; 
    SysUserInfo     _userInfo; 
 
    _userInfo = SysUserInfo::find(); 
    _runAsUser = _userInfo.Id; 
    _perm = new RunAsPermission(_runAsUser); 
    _perm.assert(); 
 
    // Invoke the protected API. 
    RunAs(_runAsUser, classnum(EventJobDueDate), "runDueDateEventsForUser"); 
 
    // Optionally, call revertAssert() to limit the scope of assert. 
    CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert(); 
}
