Permission Types

Permissions can be divided into the following types:

 

Boolean

Most of the permissions are Boolean. These permissions indicate whether an activity is allowed or not allowed.

For example, the Stop Registry permission indicates whether a user can stop the registry.

 

Numeric Limit

A permission can represent a numeric limit.

For example, the Stage Test permission allows a user to stage a test case with the specified maximum number of virtual users.

The value of a numeric limit permission must be -1, 0, or a positive integer.

If the value is -1, the permission is allowed and there is no numeric limit.

If the value is 0, the permission is denied.

 

List

A permission can be associated with a list of strings. The strings could be regular expressions.

Custom

Cloud-based provisioning of development and test environments use custom properties. DevTest creates custom properties for specifying the user name and password that is required to access the Virtual Lab Manager (VLM) provider.
