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 access to view and act on resources in the Objects application. Some of these permissions relate to creating object definitions, while others are for performing actions on existing definitions (e.g., edit, delete).

Objects has the following resource permissions.

Resource-Related Actions

Permission	Description
Add Object Definition	Create an object definition draft.
Extend System Object Definition	Add fields, relationships, actions, and validations to system objects.
Permissions	View and manage permissions related to objects.
Publish Object Definition	Publish an object definition draft.

Actions on Database Entities

Permission	Description
Delete	Delete an object definition.
Permissions	View and modify permissions for an object definition.
Update	Update an object definition.
View	View an object definition.

Managing Permissions for Individual Object Definitions

Available Liferay 7.4 U17+ and 7.4 GA17+

Follow these steps to manage permissions for individual object definitions:

1. Open the Objects application via the Global Menu ().

2. Click the Actions button () for the desired object definition and select Permissions.

   

3. Use the checkboxes to grant object definition permissions to the desired roles.

   Note

   Permissions defined at the roles admin level override permissions defined at the individual level.

   

4. Click Save.
