Permission Lookup results fields

Title

Description

Actions

Actions allow selection of edit or copy for each permission displayed.

Template Namespace

The code identifying the application and module the template pertains to. Because templates tend to be general categories, they are often associated with system-level namespaces.

Template Name

The template the permission is based on. A template usually defines, in a broad sense, what the permission controls. Similar types of permissions share the same template.

Permission Namespace

The code designating the application and module this permission is associated with.

Permission Name

The descriptive name for this permission. In most cases this will match the Template Name.

Permission Description

Display only. Detailed information that describes the permission and its purpose.

Permission Detail Values

Display only. Detailed information that, in combination with the permission name, defines the permission's function.

For example, if the permission name is 'Initiate Document,' the Permission Detail Values field indicates the specific type of document the initiate permission pertains to.

Permission detail values can include many different types of data. Some common types are defined below.

documentTypeName: The name of the document type associated with this permission.

routeNodeName: The point in a document's workflow routing at which this permission becomes relevant.

routeStatusCode: The routing status that a document must be in for this permission to apply.
