Overriding security through data filters

Data filters can override more restrictive security from other mechanisms:

• Role Security for pages in the web client
• Default Object security
• Object instance security

For example, suppose a formula does not allow updates. A data filter can enable the user to save changes to specific attached documents, parameters or extension fields.

In this example, the filter enables any users in the FOOD lab to update content for the QUALITY function code. This is regardless of the formula’s security.
