Notes

Security group provision is enabled via SecurityGroupDefinition object.

Provision checks if object exists looking up it by Name property, then creates a new object. You can deploy either single object or a set of the objects using AddSecurityGroup() extension method as per following examples.

In some cases we need to refer to build-in SharePoint security groups, such as associated members, owners and visitors. That could be done with IsAssociatedMemberGroup, IsAssociatedOwnerGroup and IsAssociatedVisitorsGroup properties.

Once you define suc a group, provision does not do anything but uses these flags to pass them into SecurityGroupLinkDefinition while linking a security group with SharePoint web, list, item, folder or other securable object. Check SecurityGroupLinkDefinition for more samples on how to use IsAssociatedMemberGroup, IsAssociatedOwnerGroup and IsAssociatedVisitorsGroup properties.

Examples

• Add security group
• Add multiple security groups

var auditors = new SecurityGroupDefinition
{
    Name = "External Auditors",
    Description = "External auditors group."
};

var reviewers = new SecurityGroupDefinition
{
    Name = "External Reviewers",
    Description = "External reviewers group."
};

var model = SPMeta2Model.NewSiteModel(site =>
{
    site
        .AddSecurityGroup(auditors)
        .AddSecurityGroup(reviewers);
});

DeployModel(model);


                            

var model = SPMeta2Model.NewSiteModel(site =>
{
    site
        .AddSecurityGroup(DocSecurityGroups.ClientManagers)
        .AddSecurityGroup(DocSecurityGroups.ClientSupport)
        .AddSecurityGroup(DocSecurityGroups.Interns)
        .AddSecurityGroup(DocSecurityGroups.OrderApprovers);
});

DeployModel(model);
