Model access

You can open the Models tree to assign models to a security group, and assign permissions to a model.

When a model is selected in the Object panel, the Permission panel contains the following Model Access permissions: No Access; Read; Read and Update; Read, Update, and Create; and Read, Update, Create, and Delete. You can select one Model Access permission.

No Access means just what it sounds like. The other levels of data access permissions allow progressively more access to models, all the way to Read, Update, Create, and Delete, which allows members of the group to look at existing models, change the contents of models, create new models, and delete models.

In addition, the actions that are available through the model are shown. The Model Action Access permissions shown for a model include all actions added in the model to sections as well as any action fields. Members of the group can perform an action only if the action's check box is selected and the members have the appropriate access to the model.

Model security data is cached for better performance at runtime. The cache is automatically refreshed when security assignment changes are made in Security Manager. If needed, you can manually refresh the cache in the Administrator Console. Select the Cache Manager, then in the Flush a Cache section, select either Security Scope or All Caches.
