Category (baja-Category)
This component defines a user category. Categories play an integral role in station security, where you can give users permissions for some (or all) categories.
Each Category represents a custom logical grouping and has a unique category index number. You can assign components, files, and histories to one or more Categories. All categorizable components have a Category Sheet view, which displays that the component’s stored Category memberships (CategoryMask). Categories reside under the station’s CategoryService, which has the Category Browser and Category Manager views.
To access, expand and double-click User or Admin.
In addition to the standard properties (Status and Fault Cause), this component provides these properties.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Index | number | A unique number for the category, as it is known to the station. |
| Mode | drop-down list (Union or Intersection) | Defines how a Category is mapped into user permissions for
the component. Union (default): Indicates that permissions for the Category are added to the user’s permissions for the component. Intersection: Indicates that missing permissions for the Category are removed from the user’s permissions for the component. |
Union mode:
User ‘X’ has permission to Component A because the OR logic between Category 1 (where Component A is included) and Category 2 (where Component A is not included) will cause Component A to be added due to its membership in Category 1. Component A is accessible by User ‘X’ if it is included in either Category 1 OR Category 2.Intersection mode: User ‘X’ does not have permission to Component A because the AND logic between Category 1 (where Component A is included) and Category 2 (where Component A is not included) will cause Component A to be removed due to its exclusion from Category 2. For User ‘X’ to access Component A, the configuration must be changed to include Component A in both Category 1 AND Category 2.
