Permission is the property of whether an object is accessible for a certain type of action.  The following tables show the Permission model in the TIS environment.

A permission states of


  • an Object

A user or a role on which it takes its effect

  • a Descriptor

An element in TIS  it is applied on, for example, a TIS-Table or a Project

  • a Permission

Read access, write access, etc.

  • a Permission flag

specifies that the permission is granted or denied

An Object states of


  • an Object type

Role (=1) or User (=2)

  • an Object Id

If it's a role, then the RoleId, if it's a user, then the UserGuid

A Descriptor states of


  • a Descriptor Type

A Type of TIS-Element on which it takes its effect, for example, a node in the Dashboard-tree

  • a Descriptor ID

The identifier of the specific descriptor element 


A permission has to be defined on the top most level.

  • For example, it has to be defined on a folder level, with enabled inheritance, so that it can be applied to the objects within the folder.

Inherited permission can be overwritten on lower level.

  • For example, user or role can be denied the "Write" permission for a specific table granted by inheritance, by adding a "Write" permission with "Deny" permission flag.
