​
The Rules Inside the Building

This is the final and most granular tier of Luklak’s security model. You have your campus ID (Business Privilege) and the key to a specific building (Item Access). Now, Permission Schemes define the rules inside that building. They control who can perform specific actions on the individual 🧊 Objects within a ⏹️ Space.

Permission & Notification

Defines your governance tier. Permission Schemes ensure the right people always have the right access to the data they work with, scaling with confidence.
Permission Schemes are reusable sets of rules, typically defined within a 📋 Function, that automatically apply to all ⏹️ Spaces created from that Function. This ensures that your business processes are executed consistently and securely.

​
The Anatomy of a Permission Scheme

Every rule within a Permission Scheme answers the fundamental question: “Who can do what?” It achieves this by connecting a specific Recipient (the “who”) to a specific Action (the “what”).

​
Available Actions

These are the operations that users can perform on 🧊 Objects and ⏹️ Spaces which you can grant or deny permission for:
  • Space Actions: View Space
  • Object Actions: View, Create, Delete, Edit, Transition Status
  • Assignment Actions: Assign Users, Set Dates, Link Objects
  • Communication Actions: Send Messages, Delete Messages, Add/Remove Attachments

​
Available Recipients

These are the different ways you can define “who” gets the permission. This flexibility allows for incredibly powerful and dynamic security models.
  • Roles: The most flexible method. Grant permission to an abstract Role like “Project Manager” or “Approver”. You then map actual users to that Role in each ⏹️ Space.
  • Specific Users & Groups: The most direct method. Grant permission to a named person or a predefined Group (e.g., “Finance Department”).
  • Dynamic User & Group Fields: The most powerful method for object-level security. Grant permission to the user(s) or group(s) listed in a field on the Object itself. For example, only the person listed in the Assignee field can edit the Object.
  • Special Recipients: Includes the Creator of the Object and All members of the business.

​
Built-in Schemes for Quick Setup

For common scenarios, Luklak provides four pre-configured Permission Schemes you can apply to any 📋 Function for rapid setup.
  • Fully open: All business members can view the Space and all Objects inside. Only people directly assigned to an Object can update it.
  • Broad access: All Roles within the Space can view the Space and all Objects inside. Only direct assignees can update an Object.
  • Moderate restriction: All Roles can view the Space, but only people directly assigned to an Object can view or update it.
  • Strict access: All Roles can view the Space, but only direct assignees can view an Object, and only key assignees can update it.

​
Creating a Custom Permission Scheme

When the built-in options aren’t enough, you can design your own scheme with precise rules. 
# Tutorial: Creating a Custom Permission Scheme

! Important: You must have the appropriate Business Privilege (e.g., Admin) to create and manage global Permission Schemes.

## Section 1: Create the Scheme

1.  **Navigate to Permission Schemes**
    Go to `Global Settings` > `Permissions & Notifications` > `Permission Schemes`.

2.  **Create New Scheme**
    Click `Create New Scheme`. Give it a descriptive name, like "Strict Financial Approval Scheme".

## Section 2: Build Your Rules

1.  **Add Your First Rule**
    In the scheme editor, click `Add Rule`. This opens the rule builder.

2.  **Define the Action and Recipient**
    First, select an **Action** from the dropdown (e.g., `Transition Status`). Then, select one or more **Recipients** who are allowed to perform this action (e.g., the `Role` named "Finance Approver").
    ![The rule builder interface showing a user selecting the "Transition Status" Action and assigning it to the "Finance Approver" Role.](https://via.placeholder.com/1200x600.png/000000/FFFFFF?text=Step%202:%20Configure%20Rule)

3.  **Continue Adding Rules**
    Continue adding rules for every action you want to control. Any action without a rule will be denied by default.

4.  **Save the Scheme**
    Once finished, save the scheme. It is now available to be selected in the settings of any `📋 Function`.

What’s Next?

You have now mastered all three layers of permission control. The final piece of the governance puzzle is managing how your team is notified of actions.
