Object containment rules

When creating objects you must adhere to the containment rules established in pcmadmin.

In pcmadmin you can display or modify the containment rules for an object by selecting the object and then clicking the button next to the Can be Created by field. The containment rules allow you to establish a consistent set of rules for the parent and child hierarchy of objects in the database.

The containment rules are established by the Can be Created by field for an object. There is a set of objects in the Contenta system that are controlled not only by the containment rules, but by a set of hard-coded rules as well.
