Permission Query

Permission Query checks the effective permission result for a subject.

Use it to diagnose why a member, department, or organization can or cannot access a form record.

Run A Query​

  1. Click Permission Query
  2. Select the subject type: member, department, or organization
  3. Select the subject
  4. Optionally select a form
  5. Optionally select a record from that form
  6. Click Query

If no form and record are selected, the query focuses on the subject's active roles.

Query Result​

The result can show:

SectionDescription
All RolesEffective roles for the subject
Selected RecordRecord selected for the query
Form Entry And Button PermissionsWhether form visibility and key buttons are allowed
Data PermissionsWhether record actions such as view, edit, and delete are allowed

Decision Points​

Permission Query explains why an action is allowed or not allowed.

Possible points include:

  • a matching role data policy
  • a default subject permission such as creator or updater
  • a condition sharing rule
  • Space Admin system permission
  • no matching rule

Troubleshooting​

When a user cannot see a record, check form visibility and view button permission first, then check data permissions.

When a user can see a record but cannot edit or delete it, check data policy actions and the corresponding runtime button permissions.
