Adrian,

While this is fine when a artifact handles a specific "process" but what about when a screen (for example) like EditExample would be used for different processes? Often the same screen/form is used for create vs update; and even more often a user will have access to create but not update [everything].

Also, an artifact (such as a screen) could contain multiple processes. A list screen for example may also include a delete button. However, with no explicit permission checks, the delete button will display for all users who have access to this artifact. So, you would still need to have explicit permission checks to see if the user has access to the delete button in this artifact.

Permissions are hierarchical - each artifact inherits permissions from the artifact above it. This is very similar to what Andrew is trying to achieve, but it's different because the artifacts themselves control the security - there is no call to a permission service with a permission string.

Here's what it might look like in ExampleScreens.xml:

<screens xmlns:xsi="...">
<security domain="framework:example:screen"/>

<screen name="EditExample">
  <security domain="EditExample"/>
  ...
</screen>

</screens>

Notice there are no explicit permission checks. Instead, each artifact has identified itself in the security domain.
