Setting permissions for custom activity classes
For custom activity class permissions, you can specify whether all logged-in users can
create activities. You can also specify whether users who create custom activities can also have
permission to modify those activities.
About this task
The default setting for CREATE_INSTANCE allows any user to create a custom activity. If you want to allow only certain users to create custom activities, this default setting is not appropriate. You can change the permissions on the custom activity class.
Custom activities are created by users. When a custom activity is created, it inherits the security from the case to which it belongs. It is a best practice to set user-added activity class permissions to ensure that the #CREATOR-OWNER user who created the activity class can change the state or modify the properties.
