abstract fun addOwner(
    caller: Principal!,
    owner: Principal!
): Boolean

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Adds an owner. Only owners can modify ACL contents. The caller principal must be an owner of the ACL in order to invoke this method. That is, only an owner can add another owner. The initial owner is configured at ACL construction time.

Parameters
caller Principal!: the principal invoking this method. It must be an owner of the ACL.
owner Principal!: the owner that should be added to the list of owners.
Return
Boolean true if successful, false if owner is already an owner.
Exceptions
java.security.acl.NotOwnerException if the caller principal is not an owner of the ACL.

deleteOwner

Added in API level 1
abstract fun deleteOwner(
    caller: Principal!,
    owner: Principal!
): Boolean

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Deletes an owner. If this is the last owner in the ACL, an exception is raised.

The caller principal must be an owner of the ACL in order to invoke this method.

Parameters
caller Principal!: the principal invoking this method. It must be an owner of the ACL.
owner Principal!: the owner to be removed from the list of owners.
Return
Boolean true if the owner is removed, false if the owner is not part of the list of owners.
Exceptions
java.security.acl.NotOwnerException if the caller principal is not an owner of the ACL.
java.security.acl.LastOwnerException if there is only one owner left, so that deleteOwner would leave the ACL owner-less.
