Preferences Metadata

As part of new company, default authorizations are provided. As per the organizational requirements, administrators can change the authorization using the Preferences Metadata (pdadm0101m000) session.

For example:

If for the Category field, the permission is set to Admin, the administrator can change this to User if required.

In the Preferences Metadata (pdadm0101m000) session, you can search the specific preference and change it accordingly.

Note: This session is used only to set the default permission of the preference.

To set the actual value of the preference, there are 3 types of sessions:

  • All User Preferences: This session is used by administrators to set or update the preference value for which the Permission is set to Admin.
  • User Preferences: This session is used by administrators to update the values of the User preferences for any user. For example, administrator can change the path of edit location for u1, u2 and u3 users. These are preferences which have User Permission, that is, the administrator can modify preferences of any user.
  • My Preferences: Using this session, a user can update the values of the preferences which has User permissions. These preferences are specific to the user.
