syst_perm_functional_types


Description

Defines application specific areas of applicability to which Permissions and Permission Roles are assigned.

When an application defines varying areas of business controls, Permission Functional Types can be used to group Permissions into their specific areas and limit usage and role assignment by area. Consider an application which supports multiple warehouses containing inventory. The application may define globally applicable Permissions such as the ability to log into the application, but may allow employees to be granted varying degrees of Permission to each individual warehouse’s inventory management features. In this case there would be “Global” Permission Functional Type containing the log in Permission and a “Warehouse” Permission Functional Type for those Permissions and Permission Roles which can vary warehouse by warehouse.

General Usage

Both Permissions and Permission Roles must share a Permission Functional Type since the Permission Functional Type establishes the context of applicability for both.
