ACL Help

[SandeepKSingh]

Hi, aside from creating child table field specific ACLs, is there a better way to override parent table field specific ACLs? I've read countless documents and haven't been able to find another solution.

No. ACLs on the parent table will apply to the child table as well, so you need different ACLs if you need different rules for that. 

On Xanadu the deny-unless ACL was introduced, which could help (or not, since we don't know what it is you are trying to achieve). But overriding an ACL on a parent table is simply creating ACLs on the child.

Hi @SandeepKSingh ,

As @Mark Manders  already correctly have stated, the solution would be to apply additional ACL on child table as child table inherited parent tables ACL.

Hi @SandeepKSingh 

I don't think there is another way around it then. You will likely have to create child specific ACL's unfortunately.
