Metadata Access Controls

System administrators can use this form to restrict access to application metadata and prevent users from altering core SQL tables.
Note: Currently, you can use the Metadata Access Controls form to restrict access only to SQL tables.

You can set the metadata access restrictions to these access types:

  • Read Only: User can view, but cannot modify the metadata.
  • Locked: Users cannot view and cannot modify the metadata.
  • Unlocked: Users can view and modify the metadata.

The restrictions to SQL tables apply when users customize SQL tables in the SQL Tables form, the SQL Columns form, and the UET Table/Class Relationships form.

The Metadata Access Controls form is accessible only to authorized system administrators and is read-only in multi-tenant cloud environments.
