## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ getPermission()

Promise<AnnotationPermission> AnnotationAuthorityManager::getPermission | ( | annot |  | ) |

Obtains the newest permission of the specified annot.

Parameters

  annot | Annot - The annotation instance

Returns
  Promise<AnnotationPermission> -

Since
  7.6.0

## ◆ setAnnotPermissionCallback()

void AnnotationAuthorityManager::setAnnotPermissionCallback | ( | getAnnotPermissionsCallback:GetAnnotPermissionsCallback |  | ) |

Set the callback function to update the viewer-level permissions for Annotation. If the current document is not open, the updateAll method does not need to be called to notify the permission change event. The update event will be triggered automatically when the document is opened. If a document is already open, then updateAll needs to be called. if the callback function has not changed, but the external data on which the callback function depends has changed, then only updateAll needs to be called.

Parameters

  getAnnotPermissionsCallback | GetAnnotPermissionsCallback - This function is used to generate a permission list(Refer to PDFViewCtrl.constants.ANNOTATION_PERMISSION ) based on the annotation information. This function allows viewers to control the permissions of each annotation according to their actual needs. When this function returns Promise.resolve(undefined), Promise.resolve(null), or Promise.resolve([ANNOTATION_PERMISSION.fully]), it enables all viewer-level permissions, and if it returns Promise.resolve(undefined). resolve([]), then it disables all viewer-level permissions. If you want to enable the specified viewer-level permissions, you can combine different ANNOTATION_PERMISSION enumeration values, e.g.:Promise.resolve([ANNOTATION_PERMISSION.deletable, ANNOTATION_PERMISSION. editable])

Returns
  void -

case 'manager':
return Promise.resolve([ANNOTATION_PERMISSION.modifiable]); // The 'manager' has modify permissions
case 'normal-user':
return Promise.resolve([]); // The 'normal-user' has no permission
}
return Promise.resolve(); // Not control permissions over this annotation.
