Configuring the User Interface › How to Configure the User Interface › Object Access Configuration

Object Access Configuration

You can configure object access to help protect the integrity of the data, prevent users from performing unauthorized tasks, and provide users with only the information appropriate for their job functions. You can configure object access in the following ways:

• Hide an object. You do not want a user to be able to see pricing information for models. Therefore, you hide the Parts and Pricing area of the Models page.
• Make an object appear. You want a user to be able to see pricing information for models. Therefore, you make the Parts and Pricing area of the Models page appear.
• Make an object read-only. You want a user to be able to see, but not change, pricing information for models. Therefore, you make the Parts and Pricing area of the Models page read-only.
• Make an object accessible. You want a user to be able to see, and edit, pricing information for models. Therefore, you make the Parts and Pricing area of the Models page accessible.
• Grant permissions to users to secure objects.

Combine object access and field configuration to enforce more granular levels of access.
