Application rights define the actions users can perform, such as creating, reading, updating, or deleting data. To enhance these permissions, incorporating field types, which categorize data specific to the application, is crucial.

By adding field types to app rights, administrators can create more precise and data-specific permissions. For instance, in a commerce application, permissions can be set so that only certain users can update the product catalog or view customer information based on specific data categories, such as the product type or customer region.

This article provides a concise guide to adding field types to app rights, ensuring efficient and secure permission management in your applications.

  1. Sign in to Resource Admin as at least a user with the Application RBAC Owner Management Role.
