Case Level Permissions

Each QPR ProcessAnalyzer model has model JSON settings. These JSON settings contain configurations and settings related to the model. The model needs to be reloaded into memory for the changed settings to take effect. See how to change model JSON settings.

The below defined settings are available.

Case Permissions

Section

Description

Permissions

This section specifies data security restrictions for objects within the QPR ProcessAnalyzer model (i.e. limit visibility). If the Permissions section hasn't been defined, all the model data is visible to all users having GenericRead permission for the project in which the model resides (more information about roles and permissions). Permissions defined in this section, are only available when using the In-Memory core. Property Description Initialization Expression language expression used to make an initial calculation for all the other expressions within this same permissions context. This expression can be used to improve performance when part of the Case or EventLogKey expressions are common and thus they don't need to be calculated again for every Case separately. See the examples below of using the Initialization expression. Case Expression language expression determining which uses can see a case. The expression is evaluated within the context of each case. If the evaluation results true, the case is visible for the user. Otherwise the case, its events and case and event attributes are not visible. This setting is used to implement case level security restrictions. EventLogKey Expression language expression used to uniquely identify all the unique event logs created by case permission filters.

Examples for Defining Case Permissions

In this example, visibility of cases is limited in a way that only those users can see the cases belonging to a user group which name is same as the Region (case attribute).

{
  "Permissions": {
    "Initialization": "Let(\"groupNames\", OrderByValue(CurrentUser.GroupNames))", 
    "Case": "Region.In(groupNames)",
    "EventLogKey": "StringJoin(\"_\", groupNames)"
  }
}

In this example, cases are only visible for users whose user name is same as the Account Manager (case attribute).

{
  "Permissions": {
    "Initialization": "Let(\"userName\", CurrentUser.Name)", 
    "Case": "(Attribute(\"Account Manager\") == userName)",
    "EventLogKey": "CurrentUser.Id"
  }
}

In this example, cases having "Region" case attribute of "Dallas" will only be visible for users belonging to user group "GroupA" (and "New York" for group "GroupB").

{
  "Permissions": {
    "Initialization": "Let(\"groupNames\", CurrentUser.GroupNames)", 
    "Case": "(Region == \"Dallas\" && \"GroupA\".In(groupNames)) || (Region == \"New York\" && \"GroupB\".In(groupNames))",
    "EventLogKey": "If(\"GroupA\".In(groupNames), \"_A\", \"_\") + If(\"GroupB\".In(groupNames), \"_B\", \"_\")"
  }
}
