Sorry it took so long to reply. I was not notified by Nabble that anybody responded.When I use the term "access", it is _not_ related to ofbiz security. Perhaps I should have used a different term to describe these fields. I shall replace "access" with readWriteType.readWriteType means how ofbiz treats the property when a user interacts with it. Of course, only users with the proper ofbiz authorization may access the properties. Some properties are mean to be viewed and not modified (ie. readWriteType=readOnly). Some are hidden altogether (ie. readWriteType=hidden).Example of a read only property field:An ofbiz owner may subscribe to a third party service via oauth2 authentication. This 3rd party service is used by ofbiz to provide a functionality. A user with proper ofbiz authorization may modify the oauth2 authentication parameters(ie. readWriteType=readWrite) and can also view the current oauth2 status (ie. readWriteType=readOnly). (Note: this is not related to ofbiz passport component).In the case of readWriteType=hidden, lets define 2 terms. ofbizOwner and ofbizTenantOwner. ofbizOwner is an entity that owns an ofbiz system. Such an entity is responsible for installation, setup, upgrades, database upgrades and tenant administrations. A ofbizInstanceOwner is a tenant of an ofbiz system configured for multitenant mode of operation. A property with readWriteType=hidden is one which is administered by the ofbizOwner and stored in the database of an ofbizTenantOwner and affects the instance of that tenant. As such, the ofbizTenantOwner cannot view nor edit such a property.Hope this clear things up.
