Change Custom Access Level on a personal folder

Question

Hi All,
This is about Business Objects XI 3.x
I'm looking for a solution to change the security settings on a personal folder.
Within 3.x it isn't possible to "overide"  the user settings on a personal folder with the use of an usergroup.
So what I'm looking for is a way to overide the user settings Access level (by default this is Full Controll) with a custom Access level so I can take away some privilige on the personal folder.
Is there a Java script allready be developed by some one that I can use?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Jan

Hi Jan,
You can use the following code snippet:
// folders is IInfoObjexts collection that contains the personal folders.
folders = oInfoStore.query(query);
          if (folders.size() > 0)
// query for the user for whom you want to set custom access role over the personal folder.
query = "select * from ci_systemobjects where si_name ='" + testUser + "' and si_kind ='user'";
users = oInfoStore.query(query);
// set the custom role.
folder = (IInfoObject) folders.get(0);
user = (IInfoObject) users.get(0);
IExplicitPrincipals explicitPrincipals = folder.getSecurityInfo2().newExplicitPrincipals();
IExplicitPrincipal explicitPrincipal = explicitPrincipals.add(user.getID());
// customRoleID is SI_ID of te custom role. You can retrieve custom role just as you retrieve any other
//info objet. You can use the query like : select * from ci_systemobjects where si_name='custom role
//name' and si_kind='customrole'
IExplicitRole explicitRole = explicitPrincipal.getRoles().add(customRoleID);
oInfoStore.commit(folders);                         
I hope this helps.
Thanks
