Application access settings determine whether one application can access resources from another application.
Application access settings are similar to access controls (ACLs) in that they allow you to restrict access to certain resources, but instead of restricting tables and records from users they restrict applications resources from other applications. There are several ways to set cross-scope access.
Setting type | Use | Description | Access setting location |
---|---|---|---|
Application design and runtime settings | Your application or application script requires access to a cross-scope resource. | Application designers can configure the following application access settings for
the entire application.
|
Access determined by the cross-scope privilege record owned by the calling application. |
Table design and runtime settings | A cross-scope application or web service requires access to perform CRUD operations on a table. | Application developers can also configure application access settings for
individual tables.
|
Access determined by settings on the target table. |
Restricted caller access privilege settings | A cross-scope application or script requires access to your application or application resource. | Admin users can configure the following application access settings for an entire
application scope or application resource.
|
Access determined by the restricted caller access record owned by the target application. |
