This feature uses privileges that allow certain actions on your data. These privileges are assigned to users through roles and stored in the Session during authentication.

In 4D 20 R6, we enhanced this functionality by allowing you to inspect the privileges in the Session, which is very helpful for debugging.

ORDA – Say Goodbye to Empty Spaces in Your Entity Selections

We’ve all been there. You build a beautiful interface that displays an entity selection for users. They can drop entities to refine their choices, but then… those empty spaces appear where the dropped entities used to be.
