Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling object/document access in a content management system. The content management system may have several layers of access controls, which may include a layer of access control at the object level, a layer of access control at the row level and a layer of access control at the field level. Access may be controlled at the object level by a user's security profile, at the object record level (or row level) by the user's role, and/or at the object field level by the user's role or a state in a document lifecycle. In other words, the object level access control may grant access (e.g., Create, Read, Edit and Delete) on objects, the object record level access control may grant access (e.g., Read, Edit and Delete) on object records, and field level access control may grant access (e.g., Read, Edit and Hidden) on object field level.
