4. Permissions

 

Sets view and edit permissions for an object.

 

1 . Allowed to viewAllowed to view

Allowed to view

This sets who is allowed to view the object.

 

Everyone - all objects from all sites can view this object.

 

No one - no objects from any sites can view this object ie; they are hidden.

You can hide objects that are no longer used but you are not prepared to delete at this stage.

 

List - defines groups and/or objects that can view this object.

 

Only groups that are local to the site can have view permissions, however objects from any site can have view permissions.

 

If the object in the 'allowed to view' list is from another site, a number appears in the list rather than a name.   This is the object identifier.   To convert this to a name click on Resolve Names from the menu bar.

 

 

2 . Allowed to editAllowed to edit

Allowed to edit

This sets who is allowed to edit the object.   Edit permissions are automatically granted to the object itself, however, if you are creating a new object you will not see the granted edit permissions until you have saved the object and then view the edit permissions again.

 

Everyone - all objects from all sites can edit this object.

 

No one - no objects from any sites can edit this object.

 

List - defines groups and/or objects that can edit this object.

 

Only groups that are local to the site can have edit permissions, however objects from any site can have edit permissions.

 

If an object has administrator permissions to the group that this object is present in, then this overrides the edit permissions presented here and the object with administrator permissions automatically has the right to edit this object.

 

If the object in the 'allowed to edit' list is from another site, a number appears in the list rather than a name.   This is the object identifier.   To convert this to a name click on Resolve Names from the menu bar.
