Protection Options

Each object in a subset has one of four protection options:

The protection options and what you can do with them follow:

Delete-Delete an object and references to it, if all references to the object are included in the subset.

Modify-Modify an object and its components, including properties. Add or delete associations to the object if the deletion does not imply the deletion of the object.

For example, modify on an entity type lets you add or change attributes or change the description of the entity type or its attributes but does not allow deletion of the attribute.

Access-Add or delete referencing associations to the object and its components.

For example, access on an entity type lets you add an information view of the entity type.

Read-Read an object and generate its components.
