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 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
