Key Concept of CSE Subsetting

The basic rule of subsetting in the Client/Server Encyclopedia (CSE) is that the only way you will get a scoping object or an expansion object with delete or modify protection is to explicitly scope the object with the requested protection or, if the required object is not a scoping object, scope the object of which the needed object is a component.

• To get a scoping object with delete or modify protection, scope that object with delete or modify protection, respectively.
• To get an expansion object with delete or modify protection, identify the scoping object of which the required object is a component.
  • If the required object is a non‑shared component, request modify protection on the related scoping object to either modify or delete the component.
  • If the required object is a shared component, request delete protection on the scoping object to delete the component or request modify protection on the scoping object to modify the component.
