Combined Authorizations

Since Valuemation version 5.0, role-based and data-based authorizations are handled independently in the 'Actions' tab, which allows for more flexibility in specifying combined authorizations. Refer to the table below to see how old authorization options (set by the 'Authorization Type' drop down in previous Valuemation versions) correspond to combinations of check boxes 'Relational Action', 'Role-based authorized' and 'Data-based authorized' introduced in Valuemation 5.0.

Authorization Type (pre-5.0)	Relational Action	Role-based authorized	Data-based authorized	Note
Always enabled	False	False	False	The action is always enabled for all users.
Data	False	False	True	Action availability is governed by data-based authorization further specified in columns 'Permission Type' and 'Required Rights'.
Stand-alone	False	True	False	Action availability is governed by role-based authorization specified in the Authorization Manager.
Relation	True	False	False	This setting has no bearing on authorization. It only specifies that the action is to be called for the source object in a relation.
Relation Data	True	False	True	Combination of options 'Data' and 'Relation': the action is be called for the source object and action availability is governed by data-based authorization on the source object.

Editor in the read mode

When the editor is opened in the read-only mode:

Actions with data-based authorization are influenced. As the read-only mode excludes the possibility to write or delete, data-based authorized actions requiring at least write or delete permissions are disabled.
Actions with role-based authorization only are not influenced by the read-only editor mode.
