Component permission level

The component permission level is a config flag associated with the slot. The configuration of this flag begins the process of granting permission to access individual component slots.
  • If the component slot’s Operator config flag is cleared (unchecked), the slot is configured for the admin permission level. A user must be assigned a role with at least the minimum permission set in the Role Manager view to admin-level Read (R).
  • If the slot’s Operator config flag is set (checked), the slot is configured for the operator permission level, and can be accessed by a user who has been assigned a role with the minimum permission set in the Role Manager view to operator-level read (r). In other words, any user assigned this role may access the slot at least to read it.

With the admin permission level, users can see and change slot flags from the slot sheet of any component. By default, most slots are configured for the admin permission level (the out slot is typically set to the operator permission level).
