Create(UANodeId) Method
Example 



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUAPrimitives Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Security.Subject Namespace > UASecurityRoles Class > Create Method : Create(UANodeId) Method
The node ID of the security role.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId has an implicit conversion from System.String, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (representing the expanded text of the nodeId) in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC UA node Id will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId.UANodeId Constructor(String) constructor instead.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Creates and registers a new security role with the specified role ID, using the expanded text of the role ID as the name.

Parameters

roleId
The node ID of the security role.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId has an implicit conversion from System.String, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (representing the expanded text of the nodeId) in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC UA node Id will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId.UANodeId Constructor(String) constructor instead.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

The created security role.

Because UASecurityRole has an implicit conversion to System.String, you can simply use the returned UASecurityRole in any place where System.String is expected as input, and the corresponding string (security ID) will be constructed automatically from the security role. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the SecurityId property instead.

Because UASecurityRole has an implicit conversion to OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId, you can simply use the returned UASecurityRole in any place where OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId is expected as input, and the node ID (OPC UA role ID) will be constructed automatically from the security role. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the ToUANodeId static method instead.

This method never returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions
ExceptionDescription

One of the arguments provided to a method is not valid.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

// This example shows how to create and use custom security roles in OPC UA servers.
// You can use any OPC UA client, including our Connectivity Explorer and OpcCmd utility, to connect to the server.
