Granular permissions & ACL
By Prafful Suthar
Granular Permissions & ACL ========================== Access Control -------------- The **Access Control** doctype provides a mechanism to manage roles, permissions rule, and user permissions within the system. ### Steps for creating new doctype. 1. **For Doctype**: Select the relevant doctype for which you are configuring access control. 2. **Enable User Permission**: A checkbox, if checked, makes the `Has Permission Rule` and `User Permission` table accessible, allowing further configurations.  3. **Roles**: Assign roles to the user. You can select and assign as many roles as necessary.  4. **Has Permission Rule**: This table allows users to define permissions by selecting specific _Permission Rule_ for the selected doctype. This enables more granular control over which values within the doctype the user can access.  > For more details, you can refer to the [Permission Rule](https://frappe-manual-castlecraft-b249c70d8b6d99bd095c0ef03e4a3115a94f5.gitlab.io/framework-extensions/doctypes/permission-rule/) documentation. 5. **User Permission**: This table allows users to define specific permissions for a particular doctype and its documents. Each row in the table has the following columns: * **Allow**: Represents the doctype for which the user permission is being set. * **For Value**: Refers to a specific document within the selected doctype. * **Apply to All Doctypes**: A checkbox field that determines whether this permission applies to all doctypes.
