The Entities service is an essential administrative tool used to manage all aspects of every service in the Aptify system. The Entities service is used to administer and modify the meta-data associated with each service in the system. This service is used to create and edit all other services within the Aptify system. The most important benefit provided by the Entities service is that it allows almost all Aptify meta-data administration to occur from the Aptify front-end interface. All database objects (such as SQL stored procedures, triggers, and table schemas) and front-end configurations (such as organization-specific graphical user interfaces, Aptify wizard consignments, or report handling) may be administered from the Entities service. Each Entities record corresponds to a top-level service (which is visible in the Ribbon, Navigation Bar, or Folder List) or to a sub-type (which appears as a tab within a parent service and is not visible in the Ribbon, Navigation Bar, or Folder List).
Used in conjunction with the Users and Groups services, the Entities service provides a centralized location for entity administration. This topic includes the following sub-topics that describe how to use the Entities service to create and edit entity information:

Permission given at the user level does not override those at the group level. Overall, Aptify entity security is a blend of all granted permissions given at both the group and user level. Below is an example of how Aptify combines all granted permissions from both levels of security.
