Primary actions

Primary actions are main or top-level actions that are initiated by a user. Base and nested actions execute within primary actions and are not initiated directly by users.

  • Access controls can be modified for actions created when a package is applied, just as they can be modified for any other type of action. However, any access control restrictions placed in a base action apply to all other actions for that record type.
  • Access control hooks are not run for nested actions. See Nested actions for more information.
Note: In order for a user to be able to run a primary action (modify, submit, delete, import, change_state, duplicate, and unduplicate), the current user must be in the access control list for the primary action as well as for all the base actions. See Base actions for more information.
