Description

This session provides methods for searching among AuthorizationEnablers. The search query is constructed using the AuthorizationEnableryQuery.

getAuthorizationEnablersByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of AuthorizationEnablers. A more advanced search may be performed with getAuthorizationEnablersBySearch(). It accepts an AuthorizationEnablerSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. getAuthorizationEnablersBySearch() returns an AuthorizationEnablerSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting AuthorizationEnablerList or be used to perform a search within the result set through AuthorizationEnablerSearch.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

  • federated vault view: searches include authorization enablers in vaults of which this vault is an ancestor in the vault hierarchy
  • isolated vault view: searches are restricted to authorization enablers in this vault
AuthorizationEnablers may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the AuthorizationEnablerQuery.
