Security role - table create permission - what "user" setting means?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 24

Hello,

I'm strugling with setting up security roles, and custom table permissions.
Could you please explain, what does "User" level on "Create" permission means?

While other permission seem clear to me, I have a problem with understanding different levels on Create permission.
Does User level means, that records created with such role will be "private" and not accesible for other users to modify?
What is a difference if I set Business Unit, or Organization level on Create permission?


My current setting for table is:
Create: User
Read: Business Unit
Write: Business Unit
Delete: User
Append, Append to, Assign, Share: None.

What I'm trying to achieve:
I want user to be able to create record in such way, that other user from same Business Unit will be able to modify one column of that record, but not delete, nor modify other columns.


Alternatively I could redesign Dataverse, to store that column, which other user can modify in different table, and use relationship.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi,
    User, BU or Organization is the scope who has access to his field.

    If you have Create permissions to User level, only the user himself will have access to the data.

     

    In your case, you need configure Column-level security to control access with 2 profiles: one with full access and other only to modify the data:

    Thanks,
    That clarifies a lot.

    So final permission to the field will be result of Security Role, and Column Security Profile, whichever is more restrictive. Besides that, if user has "User" level in "Create" permission, all records he creates will be accessible solely to himself, unless he willfully shares it with somebody, or changes its ownership, no matter what "Read" permission other users have.
    And "BU" create level will make record accessible to BU members with read permission of BU, but nor with read permission of Organization.

    Do I get it right?

    That's correct
