  GetName();
    GetPathname(long extend_option);
    GetDbId();
    GetParent();
    SiteHasMastership();
    GetMasterReplicaName();
    SetMasterReplicaName(LPCTSTR replicaName);

    DeleteFolder(LPCTSTR name);
    RenameFolder(LPCTSTR oldName, LPCTSTR newName);
    Refresh();

    GetChildNames(long item_type, BOOL asFullPathname, long
  name_option);

    GetPossiblePermissions();
    GetPermission();
    GetPermissionForGroup(LPCTSTR groupName);

    GetAppliedPermissions();
    GetAppliedPermissionsForGroup(LPCTSTR groupName);
    GetAppliedPermissionsForUser(LPCTSTR userName);
    DiscoverPermissionsForGroup(LPCTSTR groupName);
