sec.protectPath( path as String, path-namespaces as element(sec.pathNamespace)[], permissions as element(sec.permission)[], path-set as String? ) as (Number|String)
Summary
This function protects the path specified, restricting the ability to view content based on the user's permissions. The function returns the unique ID of the protected path.
Required Privileges
http://marklogic.com/xdmp/privileges/protect-path
Usage Notes
This function must be executed against the Security database.
If the protected path has a path set, it can only have read permissions.
Compartmented-roles in protected paths from the same set should belong to the same compartment.
Example

declareUpdate();
const sec = require('/MarkLogic/security');
sec.protectPath("/root/bar[@baz=1]", [], [xdmp.permission("els-role-2", "read", "element")]);
sec.protectPath("test", [], [xdmp.permission("els-role-2", "read", "element")], "set1");
sec.protectPath("/root/reg[fn:matches(@expr, 'is')]", [], [xdmp.permission("els-role-2", "read", "element")])
