Custom object access rights

Custom objects are securable, containable objects (can be filed in folders) but have no content and are not versionable.

Custom objects acquire security from the following sources:

  • The Default Instance Security tab of the class (acquired when the custom object is created).
  • A security parent, if configured.
  • A security policy. Because custom objects are not versionable, a security policy can apply only application security templates, and only according to a custom application written using FileNet P8 APIs.
