Access rights control what actions users can perform on specific elements of the repository. Each operation on a document, folder, page, volume, field, or template has a set of required entry access rights. If the user attempting the action does not have the necessary rights, the user is denied the operation.
Note: The privilege security mechanism can bypass certain aspects of access rights checking. Privileges control access to system functions, whereas entry access rights control access to documents and folders.
There are four types of Access Rights
- Entry Access Rights: Access to documents, folders, and shortcuts.
- Volume Access Rights: Access to volumes, including the ability to create and delete documents stored in that volume, and add, remove, or move pages that belong to the volume.
- Field Access Rights: Access to field data.
- Template Access Rights: Access to template definitions.
