Define Claims schema

The claims schema is used to create property fields which appear in Admin view under a user's Security Privileges column.

Security privileges are assigned by entering values into these property fields.

Multiple property fields can be created in the claims schema.

Tag

Description

<property>

Property fields are created in the security model's claims schema with the <property> tag.

The <property> tag (when used in the claims schema) has five attributes:

 

class

Accepts a value of string or enumeration.

string is used for normal property fields that can accept any user created value.

enumeration is used to create a property field with selectable values.

Selectable values are defined within additional <value> tags.

 

name

Accepts any continuous text value.

This is the value that gets referenced when security model rules are created.

 

label

Accepts any continuous text value.

This is the display name of the property field in the Sintelix user interface.

 

min-occurs

Defines the minimum number of values a property field can accept.

Normally set to zero or one.

 

max-occurs

Defines the maximum number of values a property field can accept.

If there is no limit, this should be to zero.

<value>

<value> tags are used to create a list of predefined values that can be entered in a property field.
