Setting custom table permissions

By modifying permissions, you can control which users and roles can read, create, modify and delete custom table data. You can configure the permissions of custom tables on two levels — globally for all custom tables belonging to the current site and separately for each particular custom table.

Note that this example uses the sample Corporate site and the roles that are on the site by default. Learn more about roles in Role management.
