Add default ACLs

When creating a new template, no ACLs are created automatically. As the number of available ACL scopes has grown significantly, manually configuring all ACLs can be time-consuming. To simplify this process, the Add defaults button is available at the bottom of the ACL tab.

Add defaults options

Click Add defaults to open the following options:

  • Read Adds default read-only ACLs for all applicable scopes.

  • Write Adds default read and edit ACLs for all applicable scopes. ⚠️ Note: Adding Write ACLs does not automatically include Read ACLs; both are created as part of the Write setup.

  • Create Adds the two ACLs that control object creation:

    • Create new

    • Duplicate These are the only ACLs that determine whether users can create new objects from the template.

  • Cancel Closes the menu without making any changes.


Assign Personas

After selecting Read, Write, Create or Cancel, you are prompted to assign one or more Personas to these ACLs.

  • Select one or more Personas

  • Choose Everyone to quickly grant basic access to all users


Final options

After selecting Personas, choose one of the following:

  • Add only missing ACLs Adds default ACLs only for scopes that do not yet have any ACL defined. βœ” Recommended when completing an existing ACL configuration.

  • Add all default ACLs Adds default ACLs for all scopes, even if ACLs already exist. ⚠ Use with caution, as this may override intended fine-grained configurations.


Notes

  • Default ACLs apply only to access within an object. Rights to create new objects are handled separately via the Create new and Duplicate scopes.

  • After adding default ACLs, you can fine-tune access per scope, item, or Persona as needed.
