How to create a profile using metadata api through apex class Options

Hi all

 

    I just want to create the profile using meta data api, but there are some hurdels 

 

I am able to create custom object using metadata api the sample code for that is

 

public static void createObject()
{
MetadataService.MetadataPort service = createService();
MetadataService.CustomObject customObject = new MetadataService.CustomObject();
customObject.fullName = 'Test__c';
customObject.label = 'Test';
customObject.pluralLabel = 'Tests';
MetadataService.AsyncResult[] results = service.create(new List<MetadataService.Metadata> { customObject });
}

 

In the similar manner i want to create profile using meta data api, if any one has anty idea then please give me the code

Hello Abhishek,

 

Unfortunately it is not possible to create a profile via metadata API, you can only retrieve it content using metadata API. For details please refer the section Profile for better understanding on how to work with profile using metadata API:
