Changing repository access for a user that already has acces

[ben]

I have given access to a repository for a user using:
AddRepositoryAccess
However, when I try to remove this user's access rights by passing:
VaultRepositoryAccess.None
to the AddRepositoryAccess function, I get a null exception thrown. If the user has not been given access before, no exception is thrown. Is there another way to change a user's access priveleges to a repository once he/she has already been given access?

Try using EditUser (also in VaultConnection). Get the VaultUser object - you can use VaultConnection.GetUserList - and modify the AccessInfo field, then pass that to EditUser.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.

The VaultUser that I'm interested in that is returned from GetUserList is only semi-populated, e.g. VaultAccessInfo is null. When I populate the VaultAccessInfo field and send it to EditUser, I get another null reference exception. Shouldn't VaultUser be completely populated when retrieving it using GetUserList?

Sorry, missed this method on my first search. Use VaultConnection.RemoveRepositoryAccess

[ben]

That makes a lot more sense. Thank you.
I tried the method, but I'm getting a null reference exception. I'm connected to the database as an administrator, I can retrieve the repository id and user id and then I call RemoveRepositoryAccess with those parameters but get the null reference:

System.NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any thoughts on this one?

Do you only get an exception with this one user? Is there anything in the server log? (%WINDIR%\Temp\sgvault\sgvault.log on the server machine) Or the client log? (%TEMP%/VaultGUIClient on the client machine)

[ben]

Finally getting back to this. I'll check those things, thanks...

[ben]

There is nothing unusual in the server log file. I could not locate the client log file. I have a user called "testuser1" that I AddRepositoryAccess'd to one of my repositories. That works fine. Then when I use the RemoveRepositoryAccess function I get the null reference exception. The program connects as admin to perform these functions. I haven't tried removing access of another user. Has anyone used this api call successfully?

We make several calls to it in our smoke tests. Can you show me the code you're working with?
