About Class Permissions

 

You can assign entire user groups, or specific users various permissions for classes in the CES database. Depending on whether you are assigning permissions for a user or a user group, you can assign these permissions:

  • Create: This option lets a user or user group create items of the selected class.

  • Delete: This option lets the user or user group delete items of the selected class

  • Update: This option lets the user or user group update items in this class.

  • Owns all Objects: This permission is specific to user groups only. When selected, the user group has item level read permission for the selected class.

  • Read Permissions: This permission is specific to user groups only. When checked the user group has item level read permission for the selected class.
