Access Control List Guide

The Access Control List contains the list of rules that the site checks when determining if a specific user has the ability to access, change, or delete information. The site comes set up with basic Access Control but site administrators have the ability to edit existing or create new rules.

Existing Access Control:

• DEFAULT/Any User Write
  • Provides any person with a login the ability to view and edit
• DEFAULT/Author Write, Employee Write
  • Provides the user who created the information and employees the ability to view and edit
• DEFAULT/Author Write, Public Read
  • Provides the user who created the information the ability to view and write and people with or without a login the ability to view
• DEFAULT/Employee Write
  • Provides only employees the ability to view and edit
• DEFAULT/Employee Write, Public Read
  • Provides employees the ability to view and edit and people with or without a login the ability to view
• DEFAULT/Public Read
  • Provides people with or without a login the ability to view

The reason there are overlapping Access Control setups is because when assigning an application or a database table a certain Access Control, you can only choose one. If the setup you want isn't included in this list, you can create your own (Ex. If you want only certain employees to be able to edit information or if you want all employees from a certain department to be the only ones able to approve an application)
