Filter Permissions


Filter Permissions are not so much about UI change, but they will affect how the UI behaves. Filter Permissions define which attributes we can use when defining filters for Sets and Groups.

Let's say you have added a new attribute to the schema called Employee Status and would like to create a set with all the users that have Employee Status = Active. Well this cannot be done, unless you add Employee Status to the correct Filter Permission object.

If we would like non-administrator users to be able to define this filter, we will need to add it to the Non-Administrator Filter Permission object. This is, however, not very common unless users can create dynamic groups.

Typically, the filters are changed by the administrators, after which we need to add the attribute to the Allowed Attributes list in Administrator Filter Permission.
