Folder security levels

Explanation of folder security levels.

The table below maps folder security levels to security rights. For example, the View Properties security level includes the rights View all properties and Read permissions.

In Administration Console for Content Platform Engine, you can view and edit these permissions on the Security page of a folder's property sheet or the Default Instance Security page of the folder class.

Each right in the table is expressed as a user interface (UI) description of the right and as an access right setting that corresponds to the UI description. For example, the right to view all properties could appear as View all properties in an application UI, but the actual setting for viewing all rights is the AccessRight.READ value.

Table that maps folder security levels, which are marked with a check symbol, to the access rights.
