Specification and Grouping of Project Resources
In the resources element, you group the project resources in whatever way supports the permissions you want to set.
You 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, you associate an ID with a resource type, and you 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, you associate an ID with a resource type, and you do not use the name attribute:
<resource id="ID" type="ResourceType"/>
For example: <resource id="C" type="CONCEPT"/>
