You can use XQuery code similar to the following example to insert the sample documents into a database of your choice. This code adds a document with a URI of
doc1.xml, containing one<a>element and a set of five permissions.xquery version "1.0-ml"; declare namespace html = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xdmp:document-insert( "/doc1.xml", <a>This is document 1.</a>, (xdmp:permission("can-read", "read"), xdmp:permission("can-read", "update"), xdmp:permission("US", "read"), xdmp:permission("US", "update"), xdmp:permission("Executive", "read"), xdmp:permission("Executive", "update"), xdmp:permission("top-secret", "read"), xdmp:permission("top-secret", "update")))The
doc1.xmldocument can only be read byDonbecause the permissions designate all three compartments andDonis the only user with a role in all three of the necessary compartmented rolesExecutive,US, andtop-secret, plus the basiccan-readrole. -
Create the rest of the sample documents changing the sample code as needed. You need to change the document URI and the text to correspond to
doc2.xml,doc3.xml,doc4.xml, anddoc5.xmland modify the permissions for each document as suggested in the table in Create the Documents and Add Permissions.
