Objects Application Permissions

Available: Liferay DXP/Portal 7.4+

Like other Liferay applications, the Objects portlet is integrated with the permissions framework. This means you can assign application and resource permissions to user roles to determine which users have access to the Objects portlet and its data.

See Defining Role Permissions for more information about assigning permissions to user roles.

Application Permissions

Application permissions grant permission to perform general application-related operations and do not include resource-related permissions.

Objects has the following application permissions:

Permission	Description
Access in Control Panel	Access Objects in the Global Menu
Configuration	View and modify configuration options for the Objects portlet
Permissions	View and modify Objects permissions
Preferences	View and modify preferences for the Objects portlet
View	View the Objects portlet

Resource Permissions

Resource permissions grant specific permissions on application resources. Some of these permissions enable performing operations on database entities (i.e., model resources). Others grant permission to perform resource-related operations in an application context (e.g., create a new resource entity).

Objects has the following resource permissions.

Resource-Related Actions

Permission	Description
Add Object Definition	Create an Object draft
Extend System Object Definition	Add fields, relationships, and layouts to system Objects
Permissions	View and manage permissions related to Objects
Publish Object Definition	Publish an Object draft
