Access Rights Management

The MetaStore can be used with or without authentication. If authentication is enabled, the creator of he documents is automatically granted administration rights.In the other case, everyone(SELF) who has access also has administration rights. Each user has a SID (unique identifier) which identifies you. If no credentials are available, access is automatically granted as an anonymous user (SID: anonymousUser).

There are four levels of access rights:

ACCESS LEVELDescription
NONENo access is allowed. (This is the standard level for all SIDs not mentioned in the access control lists (ACLs).)
READUser is allowed to read records and documents but not to change them.
WRITEExtend the 'READ' access level. The user can additionally make changes except changing the access rights.
ADMINISTRATEExtend the 'WRITE' access level. The user may also change access rights.
