Example: Granting Access to a Specific Part of Waveset

You can also use authorization types to grant fine-grained administrative control of a very specific part of Waveset to a set of users.

You create an AuthType, assign objects to that AuthType, and then create a capability that grants that AuthType. When you assign this capability to a set of users, they can only see the area of the system that the authorization type and capability allow them to see.

The following example assigns the LimitedReportType authorization type to a TaskDefinition, and the Run Limited Report capability to a user. Consequently, that user can only execute reports where TaskDefinition is the LimitedReportType authorization type.

<AuthType name=’LimitedReportType’ extends=’TaskDefinition’/>
<AuthType name=’LimitedReportType’ extends=’TaskInstance’/>
<AdminGroup name=’Run Limited Report’ ...>
...
<Permissions type=’LimitedReportType’ rights=’View,Execute’/>
 ...
</AdminGroup>
