Viewing permissions #
View permissions are indexed group-based and settings-based.
At page-level, this means if it’s a public page, the view will be indexed as 'null', meaning anyone can see it.
Inheritance is then calculated, and if it is logged-in only, then only logged-in members will be able to see it.
If it’s specific groups, then these groups are indexed accordingly.
More granular approaches #
If you have custom canView() implementations, we strongly suggest using InheritedPermissionsExtension and
proper permission implementations instead.
The reason for not using custom Member-based permission checks is that when a site has a lot of members, indexing
and the more granular approach would become incredibly complex and slow - increasing the possibility of
errors during indexing.
