Permissions

Permissions, granted by roles and by apps, control how users access content within Cloud.

Role permissions

Each role has a set of permissions that define the rights available to that role. There are five permissions, and each can be applied to objects in the system.

Permission types

Object permissions include the ability to Create (C), Read (R), Edit (E), Delete (D), and Share (A & S). Each object type has its own set of object permissions. With custom roles, you can enable your own unique set of permission types for each object permission.

Permission Rights granted to user
Create (C) Create object
Read (R) View object
Edit (E) Modify object
Delete (D) Delete object
Share (A) Assign or remove any user role
Share (S) Assign or remove owned user roles

Objects

Objects are named according to their interface labels in Caseware Cloud, such as Activities, Contact, Entity, and Uploaded Files.

The following tables outline all object permissions with their descriptions (the full list of object permissions is also available from the Roles Permission interface on the Settings page):
