Restricting Types of Edits

It is possible to disable a user's ability to create, update or delete entities.

This is done by setting <create>, <update> or <delete> elements to false in the edit config.

For example, to create an edit configuration that only allows a user to create new entities, one would set the update and delete flags to false as follows.

(There is no need to add an XML element <create>true</create> to the configuration.)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config xmlns="urn:com.cohga.server.config#1.0" xmlns:edit="urn:com.cohga.spatial.edit#1.0">
  <edit:config id="create_only.edit">
    <entity>graffiti</entity>
    <label>Graffiti (create)</label>
    <publish>true</publish>
    <description>Edit Configuration only allowing creation</description>
    <update>false</update>
    <delete>false</delete>
  </edit:config>
</config>

Once this edit configuration has been defined and saved, refresh the client to load it, then select Graffiti (create_only) in the Edit tab pulldown menu.

Note that the update and delete buttons will be grayed out and so inaccessible.
