Hello,
I'm trying to implement functions to check the permissions of a group or a user (first param) on a specific folder or document (second param) but i'm stuck with the UserOrGroupDataType coming as a string.
How could i make the distinction between the two kinds of objects inside the java code of the plugin ?
Regards
David
