You can update a rule to specify that a privilege is required to access or use that rule. Only certain rule forms include the Privilege field, and for the rules that do, entering privileges is optional.
The following table lists the rules that require privileges
and the function of the privilege for each of the rules:
Note: There are two ways to require a privilege on a rule:
Rule | Privilege function |
Activities | Only users with the privilege can execute the activity. |
Attachment category rules | Only users with the privilege can perform certain operations on an attachment. |
Correspondence | Only users with the privilege can use the rule. |
Flows | Only users with the privilege can start the flow. |
Flow actions | Only users with the privilege can select certain actions. |
Parse structured rules | Only users with the privilege can execute rules. |
Report definition rules | Only users with the privilege can produce the report or chart. |
