Color table on the right side of the page. These icons indicate that the values in the table are
not editable. The rst two buttons above the table allow a user with Update permissions to
add or delete a member, but those buttons are unavailable here because the user has Read-
only permission. The user can also navigate through the hierarchy in the tree view on the left
side of the page, but the labels are gray to indicate the Read-only status for every member of
the hierarchy.
FIGURE 7-17 Read-only permission on a hierarchy
At this point in the example, the user has Update permission on the ProductCategory en-
tity, which allows the user to edit any member of that entity. However, you can apply a more
granular level of security by changing permissions of individual members of the entity within
a hierarchy. As shown in Figure 7-18, you can override the Update permission at the entity
level by specifying Read-only permission on selected members. The tree view on the left side
of the page shows a lock icon for the members to which Read-only permissions apply and a
pencil icon for the members for which the user has Update permissions.
