UI and Data Policies

UI Policies and Data Policies can help to prevent users from accidentally (or intentionally!) making certain changes in our database, given a set of conditions. These policies may be client-side, or they may be server-side, meaning that they may disable or make mandatory, certain UI elements in the user's browser, or they may enforce certain rules on the server.

In this chapter, we'll learn about:

• UI Policies
• Catalog UI Policies
• Scripting in UI Policies
• The Reverse if false functionality
• UI Policy Actions
• UI Policy Order
• Data Policies
• Data Policies vs ACLs
• Converting a Data Policy to a UI Policy
