Changing templates and security

Security
Updated July 10, 2014
asked on July 10, 2014

In version 8.3.1, we were able to effectively hide a field from a user and grant no security rights to the field in a template. The user was able without any rights to that field to change the template associated with the document. In version 9.1.1 it seems that the user must have read, create and edit for them to be able to change the template even if the field that they can not see is empty.

 

It makes sense that a user that has no rights to a field in a template would not be able to switch templates as this data would be lost.

 

Is this indeed a newer function of 9.1.1 and is there a way without giving read, create and edit to allow the user to switch templates that has a field hidden from them but is empty?

Hi Michael. You are correct in stating that the reason why the user can't change the template when they don't have edit rights to the field is because it could result in data loss. However, this should have been the case in 8.3.1 as well.

 

Are you able to recreate the issue and possibly provide us with a sample 8.3.1 database so we can test it in house? Also, are you just using the standard Client application to do this? We've done some basic checks internally and could not get the issue to occur.
