Most rules are made from a handful of ready-made checks. They read better than building the same thing with Compare values, and they are the forms Pawabase understands best.

The checks

​
The same checks in the rule picker

​
Permission names must match

Has permission compares text. If a role grants posts:write, type posts:write, not posts.write. Pick one separator for your project and use it everywhere (Roles).

​
Why prefer them

  • Database filters. An Owns the record rule on a list becomes “only the caller’s rows” in the database query, so only they are read and pages and counts are exact.
  • Clarity. Has role admin explains itself.
  • Fewer mistakes. The builder makes them correctly.

​
Custom owner columns

Not every table’s owner is called owner_id. Use Owner via field… (or Owns the record (field)) and type author_id, customer_id or whichever column holds the person. Where several people may act (the author or an editor), combine: Any of: Owns the record (author_id); Has role editor.

Combining

Put them together.
