You can also associate a system action with a privilege. System actions are tasks that might need to be authorized in some way. Like Privileges, they can be assigned to Organization Units, Positions or Groups. At run time, only users who hold the associated privilege are then allowed to execute that system action. See
System Actions Table.
You can add extra information about a Capability or Privilege by assigning a Qualifier. For example, you may have created a Capability that represents an exam qualification but for a particular Position you may want to qualify that Capability by specifying a grade as well. To add qualifiers, check the Has qualifier box on the
General tab in the Properties view. The
Qualifier tab then becomes available. On that tab you can name and describe the qualifying information, and specify a data type that determines its allowable values, and if required specify a default value. For a description of the data types that qualifying information can have, see
About Data Types. Then, when you assign the Capability or Privilege to a Group or Position, you can specify the value of the Qualifier by typing it into the
Value field on the
Capabilities or
Privileges tab.
