When true, the user is allowed to delete objects of the LimeType

import { PlatformServiceName } from '@limetech/lime-web-components';
const limetypes = platform.get(PlatformServiceName.LimeTypeRepository);
const objects = platform.get(PlatformServiceName.LimeObjectRepository);
const currentType = context.limetype
? limetypes.getLimeType(context.limetype)
: undefined;
if (currentType?.acl.delete && context.limetype && context.id) {
await objects.deleteObject(context.limetype, context.id);
}
Permission to read objects of this type, or read this property
When true, the user is allowed to view objects of the LimeType
this ACL belongs to, or view this LimeProperty's value.
import { PlatformServiceName } from '@limetech/lime-web-components';
const repository = platform.get(PlatformServiceName.LimeTypeRepository);
// Types the user may not read are hidden entirely
const visibleTypes = repository
.getLimeTypes()
.filter((limetype) => limetype.acl.read);
Permission to update objects of this type, or update this property
When true, the user is allowed to modify objects of the LimeType
this ACL belongs to, or modify this LimeProperty's value.
import { PlatformServiceName } from '@limetech/lime-web-components';
const repository = platform.get(PlatformServiceName.LimeTypeRepository);
const property = repository.getLimeType('person')?.getProperty('name');
// An editable input when the user may update, read-only text otherwise
const fieldMode = property?.acl.update ? 'editable' : 'readonly';
Access Control List defining CRUD permissions for a limetype or property
The Acl interface represents the user's permissions for a LimeType or LimeProperty. It follows the standard CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) permission model.
ACL permissions are typically checked before allowing users to perform operations on a type or property, and can be used to conditionally show or hide UI elements based on what the user is allowed to do.
Each permission below carries its own example.
