Operations Registry entry

Assign permissions to users / groups on a per table basis.

Usage

This Registry entry can be assigned to users and groups:

Key	User	User	Group	Group	Group	Group
Key 1	User	User	Group	Group	Group	Group
Key 2	user	user	group	group	Default	Default
Key 3	Table	Table	Table	Table	Table	Table
Key 4	table	Default	table	Default	table	Default
Key 5	Operations
Value	priv;priv;...

where:

priv;priv;...

is a semicolon separated list of permissions:

daDefaults Define sets of default values and change the set of default values currently used. daDelete Delete records from the module(s) specified in Key 4. daDesign Create new reports. daDisplay Display records from the module(s) specified in Key 4. daDittoAll Use the Ditto All Fields (SHIFT+F9) option on the Edit tab of the Ribbon. daEdit Edit records in the module(s) specified in Key 4. daEditHelp Edit the field level help description. daEditQuery Edit the search criteria of the previously run search in Texql format (see Other Search functions for details). daExport Use the Export Schedules facility. daImport Use the Import tool. daInsert Add new records to the module(s) specified in Key 4. daMerge Use the Merge Records tool. daQuery Search the module(s) specified in Key 4. daRecall Use the Record Recall facility. daRecondition Use the Catalogue module Condition Update tool. Note: When assigning this permission, Key 4 must be ecatalogue. daReidentify Use the Catalogue module Reidentify tool. Note: When assigning this permission, Key 4 must be ecatalogue. daRelocate Use the Catalogue module Relocation tool. Note: When assigning this permission, Key 4 must be ecatalogue. daReplace Use the Global Replace tool. Note: Users with the daReplace Operations privilege do not also require the daRecondition, daReidentify, daRelocate or daRevalue privileges in order to have access to the tools associated with those privileges. daReport Generate reports. daRevalue Use the Catalogue module Revaluation tool. Note: When assigning this permission, Key 4 must be ecatalogue. daSecurity Edit Record Level Security permissions. daTemplates Create a Record Template in the module(s) specified in Key 4.

Tip: Think of da as "define access".

The Operations and Table Access Registry entries work hand in hand: the Table Access Registry entry determines which tables (modules) a user / group is permitted to access; the Operations Registry entry then determines what actions the user / group is permitted to perform on records in the table.

Note: There must be an Operations Registry entry for each table to which the user / group has been granted access through the Table Access Registry entry.

Examples

This entry specifies permissions for the Admin group on all modules:

Key	Setting
Key 1	Group
Key 2	Admin
Key 3	Table
Key 4	Default
Key 5	Operations
Value	daQuery daDisplay daEdit daInsert daDelete daReplace daDefaults daReport daDesign daEditQuery daEditHelp daSecurity daImport

Note: If the permissions are the same for all tables, enter Default in Key 4 instead of the name of a table. This will reduce the amount of Registry entries required for a group.

The Volunteers group are only allowed to search, view and edit Parties records:

Key	Setting
Key 1	Group
Key 2	Volunteers
Key 3	Table
Key 4	eparties
Key 5	Operations
Value	daDisplay daQuery daEdit

Note: If daEdit privilege is not provided, all fields in records returned by a search will be read-only (they will appear greyed out). To restrict users to editing only certain fields, provide them with the daEdit privilege and use the Column Access Registry entry to restrict access to required fields.
