Logic
Alma checks each rule and allows/restricts an object by the rule parameters. If a user does no meets any criteria, Alma allows/restricts by the Default Rule
o Access Right Rule
a. Input Parameters
b. Output parameters = Allow/Restrict
According the Input Parameters, a user will see an object (if output parameter = allow) or will not see it (if output parameter = restrict)
o Default Access Right Rule
Values: Allow/Restrict
If a user who attempts to view an object does not meet any rules’ criteria, Alma will restrict or allow an object from viewing according to the Default Rule.
