Core Permission

Core Permission Overview

Permission Levels

Engyn Core permissions control who can access data and what operations are allowed at different levels within the platform. Permissions are structured across three key levels:

• Space Level: Controls access to all objects within a space.

• Object Level: Controls access to specific objects within a space.

• Property Level: Controls access to individual properties within an object.

Assigning Permissions

Permissions can be assigned to user roles, individual users, or made available to the public:

• Role: Permissions are assigned based on specific roles within the system (e.g., Admin, Designer).

• Individual: Permissions are granted to specific users.

• Public: Permissions are extended to anyone who can view the object, even outside your organisation.

Granular Permission

Granular permissions allow you to control access at a very detailed level. You can define who can view, edit, delete, etc. specific fields or records, giving you complete flexibility over data access.

Preset Permission

Preset permissions are predefined sets of permissions that you can select from, allowing for faster setup. These presets offer common permission configurations, making it easier to apply standard access rules quickly.

Currently, Engyn Core supports the following preset permissions:

Space Level Permission

Space Level permissions control access to objects within a specific space. Users need space access to interact with any data inside it.

Default Permissions

Default permissions for a space are set as follows:

• Organization’s users: Designer

• Admin: Full Access

• Owner/Creater: Admin

Granular Permissions

Spaces have the following granular permissions:

Object Level Permission

Object Level permissions control which object (tables) a user can access in a space. Users must have permission at this level to view or edit any fields within a table.

By default, no permissions are set at this level.

Granular Permissions

Objects have the following granular permissions:

Property Level Permission

Property-level permissions control access to specific fields within an object. This allows you to restrict certain users from seeing or changing particular data, even if they can access the rest of the object.

By default, no permissions are set at this level.

Granular Permissions

Properties have the following granular permissions:
