[Building Sakai] Course Site creation

[Nguni Phakela]

HI Jaco,

I think you can use a security advisor for *site.add*

securityAdvisor = new SecurityAdvisor() {
                @Override
                public SecurityAdvice isAllowed(String userId, String
function, String reference) {
                    if (SiteService.SECURE_ADD_SITE.equals(function)) {
                        return SecurityAdvice.ALLOWED;
                    } else {
                        return SecurityAdvice.NOT_ALLOWED;
                    }
                }
            };

            securityService.pushAdvisor(securityAdvisor);


I think then you shouldn't be receiving any PermissionExceptions when
trying to create a site.


Let me know if that is helpful.



Cheers,

Nguni
