SPRoleAssignmentCollection.AddToCurrentScopeOnly Method

SharePoint 2010

Adds a role assignment to the collection of role assignment objects at the current scope.

Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
Available in Sandboxed Solutions: Yes
Available in SharePoint Online

Syntax

Copy

public void AddToCurrentScopeOnly(
	SPRoleAssignment roleAssignment
)

Parameters

roleAssignment: Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoleAssignment
The role assignment to add.

Remarks

This method does not propagate the security principal in the Member property of the SPRoleAssignment object to the SPRoleType.Guest role of the parent scopes. If you do want to ensure that the security principal has at least limited access to objects in parent scopes, then you should call the Add(SPPrincipal) method.

Note
When you call the SPRoleAssignmentCollection.Remove method, the remove operation affects the current scope and all sub scopes regardless of whether the SPRoleAssignmentCollection.AddToCurrentScopeOnly method is used to create any of the scopes.
