Remarks
An access control list (ACL) defines the access rights for an object (such as a document) through one or more components. It behaves in different ways depending on how it is acquired and used.
When examining or specifying object permissions using methods such as GetObjectPermissions or ChangePermissionsToACL the custom permissions are specified by the CustomComponent and AutomaticComponents contain information about components that result from the object's properties. The automatic components cannot be freely modified but can be deactivated if the components themselves allow it.
If AccessControlList is used to define NamedACL the automatic components are not used. Only the custom component has an effect on the definition of the NamedACL. This applies also when NamedACL is used inside AutomaticPermissions.
|
Note If the M-Files document vault has not been upgraded to use extended metadata driven permissions, the automatic components collection should always be empty. |
