Back Forward Atlas — Standard Privileges

About Privilege rules

Your system includes about 140 standard privileges, including the following. Many standard privileges provide the ability to execute specific, individual standard flow actions and individual standard flow rules. Alternatively, the AllFlows and AllFlowActions privileges provide access to all the standard flows and all the standard flow actions respectively.

A privilege rule only defines a name. It doesn't convey any capabilities to any user until you associate it with a class and an access role, through an Access of Role to Object rule.

Privilege requirements copied from standard flows

When you use the Application Accelerator (advanced mode), the accelerator creates a flow rule or rules for your new application by copying one of the standard rules named Work-.StandardFlowzzzzz. Each such standard flow rule is restricted to users with privileges named FlowStandardzzzzz, so your application carries forward this restriction in the copied flow rule.

For example, an application produced from the Work-.StandardRequest flow rule creates a custom flow rule restricted to users who hold the FlowStandardRequest privilege. If you determine that your application needs different restrictions or no restrictions on users, remove the privileges from the Process tab of your flow rules. (The standard privilege AllFlows lets a user start any flow produced by the Application Accelerator.)
