Question
Is there a way to restrict viewing records in data type record editor
Our team would like to restrict the use of record editor in a data type, because some data type contains 30+ million records and when a developer accidentally clicks on "Records" tab in data type landing page, this will trigger resource intensive process on the server.
When I take a look at pzRecordsEditorWrapper rule, I see a dynamic layout containing label with value of "You do not have sufficient privileges to view records". I looked through privileges that might be related to control the visibility of this section, but no luck.
Has anyone done something similar?
I am using Pega 8.3.
Hi Basil, thank you for reply and sorry for belated response.
If you would look into the section configuration,
Which section are you referring to? Are you talking about dynamic layout that contains "You do not have sufficient privileges to view records"? If so, the visibility condition for this dynamic layout is set to "Never".
Hi Toshihide,
I checked it in v7.3. It means, they changed it in later versions.
But the solution must be still valid. In order to restring an access to data type overview, you need to change a read access to 0 in the Access Role Name in an access group.
After that, users will not be able to open data type overview (for test purposes I set everything to 0, but you should do it only with some of them - try Read instances, for example)
If you would look into the section configuration, contained this message, you would see, that it uses a when-rule "pzHasReadAccess", which uses under the hood an access level to the data class.
So you need to set Read=0 for the data class in a Role definition
