Relationship Between Folders and Process Design Permissions

This page documents how folder permissions and process-design permissions combine to determine what a user can do with a process. It is intentionally preserved as a dense reference because the access matrix is operationally important.

Use it when you need to answer questions such as:

  • who can start a process
  • who can access process design
  • who can see process statistics or dashboards
  • who can create, upgrade, or delete process versions
  • who can edit or delete the containing folder

How to Read the Matrix

Each table combines:

  • a Folders permission level
  • a Process Design permission level
  • the resulting capabilities

The capability list records whether the user can:

  • initiate the process
  • access process design
  • change permission lists
  • access process-specific statistics
  • access dashboards
  • create or upgrade process designs
  • edit or delete the containing folder
  • delete the process design
