All users -will be able to _read_ them. Only the OpenERP Administrator or specified -groups, however, will be able to modify them! -Files or directories that have an "owner" are private. Only their users will -be able to read or modify (including delete) them. -By default, all user's files are created with "owner" field set, thus private. - -Principle of "group_ids" -------------------------- -Directories that have any group ids set will only (apart from their owner) -allow members of these groups to read them. -Directories that are created into the above directories will initially inherit -(that is, copy) the group_ids of their parents, so that they also allow -access to the same users. - -Implementation note ---------------------- -Most of the principles are applied through record rules (see ir.rule object), -so an administrator can actually readjust them. -In order to have logical "areas" of folders, where different policies apply -(like group folders, personal areas), default values for directories' owners -and group_ids can be tuned (through the 'set default' functionality of -fields). - -Summary --------- - -Table of permissions and behavior - -|| Type | Owner set | Groups set | Description || -|| Public | - | - | Public-readable folders, admin can write || -|| Group | - | X | Group can read, write, delete in them || -|| Group-read | X | X | Group can read[2], owner can write/delete || -|| Private | X | - | Only owner can read, write, delete in. || - -[2] hint: using a wide group, like "Internal users" at this setup creates the - effect of public-readable folders, with write permission to a non-admin user. |
