Question

microflows and forms not visible in security

1

I use Mendix 2.5.3 and in the security overview some microflows and forms are not visible to set access. I've managed to provide access through the settings on the form/microflow page itself but i guess it makes more sense to have one single overview. Is this a known error and how kan i solve it?

Microflow Access defines which microflows can be executed by users with a certain module role. The menu bar is optimized so that it only shows forms and microflows that the user has access to. It's not an error.

By default, forms and microflows "inherit" the security settings from the caller. For example, when calling a sub-microflow from a microflow that is part of the user interface, security settings are only required for the latter. This is also true for some forms: a "new/edit" form "inherits" the security settings from the object in the form (e.g. no create permission means no access to a "new" form), and a "select" form of a reference set selector derives its security settings from the user permissions on that reference.

Because of this, you'll only see the forms/microflows in the security overview that are the "starting points" for user interaction.
