Specification and Grouping of Project Resources
In the
resources
element, you can group the project resources in whatever way supports the permissions you want to set.
Give each grouping or individual resource an ID that is used when defining the permissions.
Grouping Resources by Resource Type
The broadest resource grouping is provided by setting permissions at the level of resource type. This method groups all resources of that type in the project. To set a resource type resource group, associate an ID with a resource type, and do not use the
name
attribute:
<resource id="ID" type="ResourceType"/>
For example:
<resource id="C" type="CONCEPT"/>
Using Resource Type as a Filter
How you specify the resource group is partly determined by the resource type attribute. The resource
type
can act as a filter. For example, suppose in the
name
attribute you specify a directory that includes events and concepts. If you set the
type
attribute to
"CONCEPT"
then the ID associated with this grouping is used to set permissions only on the concepts in that folder (and its subdirectories).
You could create a second grouping whose
type
specifies
"EVENT"
so that you can set permissions on events in that folder branch separately.
Specifying an Individual Resource
To specify an individual resource, provide the
project path to the resource in the
name
attribute. The project path is the folder path to the ontology entity, as seen in the Explorer panel. The example below shows how to specify an ID that is associated with the
FirstName
property of the
Person
concept:
<resource name="/Concepts/Person/FirstName" id="FN" type="PROPERTY"/>
Grouping Resources Using Wildcards
You can associate groups of resources with an ID using the wildcard character in the project path. The asterisk (*) is used as the wildcard character. For example:
<resource name="/someFolder/* "id="AllP" type="PROPERTY"/>
Grouping Resources by Resource Type
The broadest resource grouping is provided by setting permissions at the level of resource type. This method groups all resources of that type in the project. To set a resource type resource group, associate an ID with a resource type, and do not use the
name
attribute:
<resource id="ID" type="ResourceType"/>
For example:
<resource id="C" type="CONCEPT"/>
See Resource Types and Corresponding Action Types for a list of resource types, and the action types that are valid for each resource type.
