Object Access Type
Object Access Type derives the special functionalities which can be performed on object definitions by a user. It determines whether a user can do operations such as create, view, update, or delete for an object definition.
- Read only
User who creates the object sets this property at object definition level, which will restrict other users to perform Create/Update/Delete operations on the object. Other users can only view the object details.
- Read/Write
User who creates the object set this property at object level, which will allow other users to perform Create/Read/Update/Delete operations on the object.
Since single user maintenance of an object is too restrictive, an override option is provided through Phantom role type. If the user group to which the user belongs is mapped to the Phantom role type, then the user will be able to perform CRUD operations irrespective of the object access type. Both Phantom and Write roles should be mapped to the user group.
- User Group-Infodom level (applicable to Public Folders)
Map the user group to infodom-folder from User Group Domain Map window and map the user group to the Phantom role for the required function from the User Group Role Map window. For example, for a user to override object access type, his user group should be mapped to the folder in which the object is created and should have been mapped to the Phantom role, provided the folder in which the object is created is a Public folder. For information on how to do the mapping, see User Group Domain Map and User Group Role Map sections.
- User Group-Folder-Role level (applicable to Shared Folders)
Map the user group to infodom-folder and then map it to the Phantom role for the required function from the User Group Folder Role Map window if the folder in which the object is created is a Shared folder. For information on how to do the mapping, see User Group Folder Role Map section.
