Security entities

The file attachment datatype adheres to both dataform and file management security rights. These security rights work in the following way:

Dataform_Field security: View/Add/Edit/Delete controls whether a user can:

• View: View the file from the field.
• Add: Add a new file when the field is empty.
• Edit: Update or change an existing file (folder icon).
• Delete: Delete a file from the Dataform (trashcan icon).

 

With field edit rights comes an additional layer of security in the Upload File dialog box using the File_Man security entities:

• File_Man_Delete: Delete a version of the file.
• File_Man_Pin: Swap files in the versioning hierarchy.
• File_Man_Ver_Override: Override the default setting when uploading a file. The user can select either the Yes, Pin New File or No, Replace File. Each time the page loads, the default value is selected.
