Document lifecycle actions and lifecycle policies are independently
securable.
Lifecycle actions and lifecycle policies have the following security
characteristics:
- Both are instances of their own classes: the Document Lifecycle
Policy class and Document Lifecycle Action class. Therefore they obtain
initial security from the Default Instance Security ACL of their class,
like all objects do when first created. Both classes are subclassable.
You can view and modify these classes under the Administration Console for Content Platform Engine Other classes node.
- Lifecycle actions and policies are independently securable. They
are not required to have the same security as the security placed
on the document class (or individual document) to which they are attached.
It is obviously a much simpler security model if they do. However
it can be configured differently if required by the needs of the application's
security.
- Document lifecycle actions and policies do not have a security parent relationship
with any other object. Specifically, a lifecycle policy does not have
a security inheritance relationship with the document class to which
it is associated.
- In Administration Console for Content Platform Engine, individual
lifecycle actions and lifecycle policies are displayed in subfolders
of the node. If these folders are empty it means that none
have been created for that object store. Both objects have property
sheets containing a Security tab which allows you to view and modify
the security on that object.
- Like other objects, lifecycle actions and lifecycle policies have
an owner property. The owner need
not be the same as the owner of the document with which the lifecycle
policy is associated.
