Securable objects
An independently securable object has its own Access Control List (ACL) that specifies
its security and ensures that access rights are checked each time a user tries to access it. A
dependently securable object depends on some other object as its security parent.
The important securable objects are:
- FileNet P8 domain (Domain Root)
- Object stores
- Classes
- Documents plus several subclasses of the document class:
- Folders
- Custom objects
- Events and subscriptions
- Lifecycle policies and actions
- Security policies
- Annotations
- Choice list class
- Property template class
The following objects are dependently securable, meaning that their security is provided by, and is the same as, the object that is their security parent:
- Content elements have the same security as their document.
- A property assigned to a securable object has the same security as that object.
- The individual choices in a choice list have the same security as the object that the choice list is assigned to.
- A lifecycle state in a lifecycle policy
