Application level Admin access...

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to provide admin access @ application level (all its objects) to a specific role instead of global admin access (admin_all_objects).

Thanks

found a solution for this.

  1. Define seperate indexes
  2. assign admin_all_objects accces to the role
  3. from command line add required role to write permissions. File: /etc/apps//metadata/default.meta

Sample default.meta

Application-level permissions

[]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, power, myRole ]

EVENT TYPES

[eventtypes]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, power, myRole ]
export = system

PROPS

[props]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, power, myRole ]
export = system

TRANSFORMS

[transforms]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, power, myRole ]
export = system

LOOKUPS

[lookups]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, power, myRole ]
export = system

VIEWSTATES: even normal users should be able to create shared viewstates

[viewstates]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ * ]
export = system

Thanks
