LAS \ Data Access \ Categories
Information
In TEKLYNX CENTRAL this UMSS permission controls ALL access to ALL Categories and supersedes all permissions given to or suspended from individual Categories listed under the LAS/Categories section.
Permissions Meanings
Delete* – allows the user to delete a category from the existing folder structure and all nested or subordinate Categories. TEKLYNX will allow a Category to be deleted even if there are label designs and/or nested Categories stored within it. Removal of a Category (i.e. set to Is Deleted) for an existing label design does NOT remove the label design itself, but it DOES remove access to that label design.
Update – this permission will allow the users to change settings recorded within the record for each category. Specific changes include:
- Category name
- Lock at Checkout’ status
- Archiving operations
- Approval type (e.g. Three State Approval?)
- Approval rule default settings
Insert – allows the creation of new Sub-Categories (i.e. folders) in the selected folder.
Query – this allows the user to ‘see’ the Categories. Removing permissions to view the Categories essentially means access to the labels designs (for Check in, Check out, History, etc.) is cut off. The label designs still exist, they just cannot be searched without the ability to query the Category assigned.
* In this case, ‘Delete’ does not mean the data is removed from the database. Instead TC sets the information (e.g. record on the table) to ‘Is Deleted’ status. This keeps the information in the database but instructs TC to ignore it as if it was deleted.
