Create a Container with Default Module via JavaScript

I see where I can create a new container via JavaScript:

LABKEY.Security.createContainer({
name:'testLab'
})

Is it also possible with JavaScript, to add a module to this newly created container (and maybe assign permissions)?

Thanks,

bront

Hi Bront, You can assign permissions via the LABKEY.Security.savePolicy (https://www.labkey.org/download/clientapi_docs/javascript-api/symbols/LABKEY.Security.html#.savePolicy), but there is nothing within the JavaScript API to allow you to enable/disable modules. The only option when it comes to modules is to see what modules are installed and whether they're active & enabled for the specific container you're looking at via LABKEY.Security.getModules (https://www.labkey.org/download/clientapi_docs/javascript-api/symbols/LABKEY.Security.html#.getModules) Regards, Jon

Bront, You can specify a folder type when creating the container. A custom folder type can specify which modules are enabled by default: https://help.labkey.org/wiki/home/Documentation/page.view?name=customFolderTypes Kevin
