Overview of Permissions

Authorization covers the following types of permissions:

• Class permissions
• Object permissions
• Area permissions

The security subsystem manages all types of permissions and uses a cumulative approach to get the effective permissions.

If you have enabled area permissions, both types of permissions (object and area permission) are checked to get access to objects. That means a user needs objects permissions and area permissions to get an object managed. Object permissions are checked only if area support is disabled .
