Manage rights generically (experts)

Requirements

To be able to call up Generic Rights Management, the "Activate options for experts" checkbox must be activated under "Extras > Options > Portals".

Target audience

Generic rights management is designed for experts who want to manage additional rights beyond the dialog-supported assignment of rights. To use the function, it is helpful if you are familiar with "Java Permission Classes".

Functional description

With the Generic rights management, you have the option of assigning the rights classes provided by Intrexx and your own rights classes to specific objects. You can then assign the objects to rights holders. You can specify which actions are to be executed in each case. Later, you can use Groovy, for example, to query at runtime whether a specific rights holder is allowed to perform a specific action for a specific object and react accordingly.

The following is an example of how to add a (further) rights holder to an Intrexx rights class and how to add an additional right.
