Notes on authorization definitions

Take the following advice into account when you create an authorization definition in the authorization editor.

  • To add an additional activity value to an authorization object, click +. You can enter more than one activity value by ORing and ANDing them together.

  • To add an additional value for an authorization field to an authorization object, click C next to the authorization field.

  • The same authorization object cannot be added more than once to an authorization definition.

  • OR and AND operators cannot be combined for activities below an authorization object. If an activity contains an AND operator, no other activities may be defined below the same authorization object.

  • OR and AND operators cannot be combined for the same authorization field below an authorization object. If an authorization field contains an AND operator, this authorization field must not be defined again below the same authorization object.
