Explicit Viewing Access

Entities which hold information regarding the group that owns the record. They can be viewed only by users belonging to the same group or by users whose group collaborates with the group.

The following information is set on each record:

  • Owned By Group: Definesthe group whose users can view, modify and assign that record by default, without the need for collaboration access rights.
  • Privacy Level: Dictates the collaboration level of that entity record. Privacy Levels are Read-only.
    They are either set automatically by the system where Privacy Level Assignment Rules (PLARs) are defined in the system or by dedicated action. Refer to Security Management for more information.

If no group is defined when creating records of these entities the system automatically sets the 'Owned by Group' to the group of the logged in user or based on geographical areas if any are set up.

Assignable Entities

Entities which require a course of action and can be assigned to a unit or a user, which will be responsible for performing the actions.

Assignable entities have their records assigned to either a unit or user. This is done through the 'Assigned To' component which is globally used by all Assignable Entities. The component includes the following:

  • Assigned to Unit: The unit that should deliver the task. It defaults to empty and must be specified. If the 'Assigned to' user is specified, then it automatically defaults to the unit that the 'Assigned To' user belongs to.
  • Assigned to User: The user that should deliver the task. It defaults to empty. If the 'Assigned To' user is specified then the 'Assigned To' unit defaults to the unit that the 'Assigned To' user belongs to.

Note

It is possible to only define the unit when creating an Assignable Entity. In this case, before any further processing, the entity must be 'Accepted' by a user that belongs to the defined unit, via the dedicated ACCEPT Action.

In the case that only a user is selected, then the system will automatically set the unit to that which the defined user belongs to.
