Add-VaultRestriction

Adds a restriction to block the current operation.

Syntax

Add-VaultRestriction -EntityName <String> -Message<String> [<CommonParameters>]

Parameters

Type	Name	Description	Optional
String	EntityName	The title or affected object of the restriction.	no
String	Message	The message of the restriction.	no

Return type

empty

Remarks

• The Cmdlet makes it possible to block the executing webservice call and upcoming Pre- or Post events.

• It is possible to add multiple restrictions with the same EntityName.

• If a Restriction event has multiple subscribers then the event actions of all subscribers are executed even though the first subscriber already sets a restriction.

• For Events (e.g CheckoutFile…) which are only for a single entity, the EntityName is not displayed in the restriction Dialog by the Vault Client.

Note

The Cmdlet is only usable in the Restrictions events (e.g AddFile_Restrictions, UpdateFileStates_Restrictions…).

Examples

Adds a restriction for files which state is trying to be changed to released

Register-VaultEvent -EventName UpdateFileStates_Restrictions -Action {
	param($files)
	foreach($file in $files)
	{
	        if($file._NewState -eq "Released") {
	                Add-VaultRestriction -EntityName $file.Name -Message "File state can't be set to released!"
	        }
	}
}
