Object Permissions
An object permission is a privilege that is granted to security groups
or individual users that allows access to a specific object within the
client application. An example of an object permission for which
users and groups can be given privileges is the ability to edit a
particular report object. For example, if a user is granted the Edit
Report Object permission for the report object called Test Report
Object, then they will be able to make and save changes to that
report object.
Individual users can have object permissions granted to them, and
they can inherit object permissions from the security groups to
which they belong. For example, if a group has been granted the Edit
Report Object permission for the Test Report Object, users
assigned to that group are also able to edit the report object.
Object permissions are granted through the Configuration Console.
For more information, refer to the Configuration Console online
help.
You may also set the baseline permissions that will be given to a
certain group or user for every instance of an object type that is
created in the Configuration Console. For example, if you want a
user to have permission to edit every report object that is ever
created in the client application, you need to set the Edit Report
Object default security permission on the Report Object type for
the particular use . After you have assigned default permissions to a
type of object, the creator of a new object of that type may choose to
revoke an individual user’s permissions to his newly created object.
NOTE
Revoking permissions is performed in the Configuration Console. For
more information, refer to the Configuration Console online help.
