Security Rights

Rights are of vital importance in an application.

Definition

Each feature in the Repository, to which you can control the access, can be defined as right.

Security Rights in AVEVA Work Tasks

There is a set of pre-defined rights in the repository to which you can control the access. These rights define the user privileges at various levels. Apart from the standard rights available in the repository, the user can create custom rights. The user can also create new security rights at the repository level. These rights can be extended and modified at different levels (List and ListItem).

For example: Creating an item inside a list is a feature of a list. You can control access to this feature by defining a right called 'Create Item'. If this right is enabled, the user can create an item inside a list.

Examples of Repository features that can be controlled using Security Rights

• Add, Delete, Edit, Publish, Unpublish, Disable, and Enable items inside a List

• Viewing All Versions, Child Items, Properties, and Associations of an item inside a List

• Saving different Versions and Creating Associations of an item

• Design Workflow, View Workflow, and Perform tasks on an item

• Viewing Others' Draft items, Viewing Pending items, and Viewing Folder

• Settings Security at Repository, List and ListItem levels

• All features of AVEVA Work Tasks Server Controls
