VOB and view access control
HCL VersionVault supports a rich set of access controls on versioned objects.
ACL authorization
If access control list (ACL) authorization is enabled, the identities and protection modes for some object types are administered through policies, which define permissions for roles; and rolemaps, which map the roles to principals.
Protected objects and the owner-user and owner-group principals
An effective ACL (EACL) can reference an indirect principal: the owner-group or owner-user.

Protected objects and the owner-user and owner-group principals

An effective ACL (EACL) can reference an indirect principal: the owner-group or owner-user.

When a protected object (VOB object, policy, rolemap, or element) is accessed and the EACL grants owner-group certain permissions, those permissions are granted to the process if the protected object's owning group matches one of the process's groups. An object's owning group must be one of the VOB's groups.

Similarly if the EACL grants owner-user certain permissions, those permissions are granted to the process if the object's owning user is also the owning user of the process.
