Model Properties (Model Item Security Page)
Use this page to set role assignments on parts of a model. You can specify whether a user has view access to a particular model item. A model item either inherits security or uses explicit security settings. Inherited and explicit security are mutually exclusive. If you configure an item to use explicit security for one user or group, you must define role assignments for any other user or group that requires access to the item.
Security settings grant view access to a model item. You cannot configure a role assignment that denies access to a model item.
To make role assignments easier to maintain, create role assignments on folders or entities rather than individual fields. You cannot search for role assignments that you create. If you set security on specific fields and you want to update the security settings later, you must click through the model namespace to find the fields you secured.
