Security and SMS Objects

Published : April 11, 2005

Although only the SMS_UserInstancePermissions class is commonly used in SMS scripting, you can also use the following SMS classes for SMS object security:

  • SMS_UserInstancePermissions   Each instance of this class represents all the rights for a particular user or group for that instance.

  • SMS_UserInstancePermissionNames   Each instance of this class represents a particular right for a particular user or group on a particular instance. This class is useful for display purposes because the rights are already parsed into a form that you can read, but it takes more scripting to achieve the same results as the SMS_UserInstancePermissions class.

  • SMS_UserClassPermissions   Each instance of this class represents all the rights for a particular user or group for a particular class.

  • SMS_UserClassPermissionNames   Each instance of this class represents a particular right for a particular user or group for a particular class. The class is useful for display purposes because the rights are already parsed into a form that you can read, but it takes more scripting to achieve the same results as the SMS_UserClassPermissions class.
