Control users who can set effectivity
Learn how to control users who can set effectivity, including write and edit effectivity access.
To control the users who may set effectivity, add the following access rules at an appropriate place at the top level of the rule tree:
Has Type (Release Status) → Create Effectivity UsersHas Type (Effectivity) → Edit Effectivity Users
The release status rule controls who has write access to the release status and consequently can attach effectivity objects to it. This also determines who can initially create effectivity. Similarly, the effectivity rule controls who can edit an existing effectivity object.
