Security options for term databases
You can impose a security policy for your term databases through a combination of user type permissions, access control permissions, and attribute masking.
In WorldServer, you can take the following measures to protect your term databases:
- Restrict users' permissions to perform certain actions. For example, you might allow them to update or add TD entries in their own languages and to view terms in other languages.
- Set up users with limited modify permissions. For example, you might allow them to modify individual TD entries, but not to execute wide-ranging operations such as purging the term database.
- Define TD entry attributes that are specific to one or more TDs. For example, a user who is modifying a TD entry can see only attributes that are relevant to that particular TD.
- Limit the access to TDs to specific users or groups.
