Metadata
The privileges are stored in the catalog in the following file: \root\system\privs.
Inheritance
- If a user belongs to two Application Roles or Catalog groups and both are granted permissions, then the “least restrictive” permissions are given to the user. Hence the data Security filters across groups will be combined with an OR condition.
- Explicitly denying a privilege takes precedence over any granted, inherited privilege. For example, if a user is explicitly denied access to the privilege to edit column formulas, but is a member of an application role that has inherited the privilege, then the user cannot edit column formulas.
