How to: create a rule-based Access Group

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 allows you to set content targets based on access group rules, Sharepoint groups, and Microsoft Exchange distribution list (DL) membership. In addition, Sharepoint Server 2010 provides the ability to set content targets at the list item level, not just at the list level.

This code example shows how to create a rule-based access group that can be set as the content target.

Note

In this example, only the access group is created. No access group is collected and no rules are added. You can use the user interface or object model to add rules, and then use the user interface to collect access groups. The object model does not support collecting access groups.

Before running this sample code, add the following references to the Microsoft Visual Studio project:

Microsoft. Office. server. dll

Microsoft. Office. server. userprofiles. dll

Microsoft. Sharepoint. dll

System. Web. dll

Console. writeline ("created successfully ");
Console. Read ();

                    }                    catch (AudienceDuplicateNameException e)                    {                        //Your exception handling code here                    }                    catch (AudienceException e1)                    {                        //Your exception handling code here                    }                }            }            catch (Exception exception)            {                Console.WriteLine(exception.ToString());                Console.Read();            }        }    }}

Open the target access group of a list in http: // MOSS: 8001.
