Setting custom table permissions
Only users with the Global administrator privilege level can create a new custom table or modify an existing custom table. Other users can access custom table data. By modifying permissions, you can control which users and roles can read, create, modify and delete custom table data. You can configure the permissions for custom table data on two levels:
- For all custom tables belonging to the current site (globally)
- For a particular custom table
Custom table permissions
You can set the following permissions for custom table data:
Permission | Description |
Read | Allows members of the selected roles to view custom tables and their data in the Custom table data application. |
Modify | Allows members of the selected roles to edit custom table items in the Custom table data application. |
Create | Allows members of the selected roles to create new custom table items in the Custom table data application. |
Delete | Allows members of the selected roles to delete custom table items in the Custom table data application. |
