View mode

The view modes of a business component determine the allowable access control mechanisms that can be applied to the business component in any view.

When a view is based on a particular business component, the view must use one of the view modes specified for the business component. For example, the Responsibility business component can only be used in Organization view mode. Each view mode also determines how data is associated with a user to determine whether the user has access. For example, a business component that allows personal access control might connect the data to the person by comparing the data Owner Id field to the person’s user ID. Another business component might apply personal access control through the data Created by field.

Use Siebel Tools to work with properties of business components.

Note: If a business component has no listed view modes, then no access control based on the business component exist for views that are based on that business component.
