MSO - Security
Intended audience: ANALYSTS DEVELOPERS ADMINISTRATORS
AO Platform: 4.3
Overview
This section contains the options to configure specific Role-based security Rights for:
MSO Permissions
MSO Property Permissions
MSO Data Permissions
App Permissions
Trait Permissions
Add Roles on the Security page and their associated Permissions as it relates to the current MSO and its Properties. This allows granular support for Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) permissions at the data level. Roles to be added have to be created in the Admin solution in advance. See Admin > Security. The Administrator can also configure default Ontology and MSO level Permissions for each Role which will affect the configuration of MSO and associated Properties and Data Permissions on this page in the Ontology Composer.
When restricted Permissions are configured for a given Role for MSOs, their Properties, and Data, users associated with the Role will receive Notifications when data isn’t shown (Read is revoked) and/or data cannot be updated (Create, Update, Delete are revoked).
Finally, Permissions can be configured for both Apps and Trait Curations in terms of their visibility. Configured Apps and Trait Curations in their respective repeater sections have the effect of hiding the Apps and Trait Curations for the selected Role.
