MarkLogic 10 Product Documentation
sec functions

The table below lists all the sec built-in functions (in this namespace: http://marklogic.com/xdmp/security).

The security function module is installed as the following file:

install_dir/Modules/MarkLogic/security.xqy

where install_dir is the directory in which MarkLogic Server is installed.

To use the security.xqy module in your own XQuery modules, include the following line in your XQuery prolog:

import module "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/security" at "/MarkLogic/security.xqy"

The library uses the sec: namespace, predefined in the server.

NOTE:  When using these functions to administer security for an application, be sure to execute them against the security database configured for your application's database. Function calls in this library can only be executed against a a security database (for example, Security); the database named Security is automatically configured when MarkLogic Server is installed, and it is the default security database. To execute these functions against the security database, you can specify the database option in xdmp:eval or xdmp:invoke, or you can run it in an App Server that has your security database configured as its database.
