Object Properties
An object's properties can be viewed and maintained by double-clicking on an object or selecting File/Open from the menu whenever an object is selected. To amend an object's systems in this dialog, a user needs to have the access rights to the Object.Right.EditSystems function. To delete an object requires access to Object.fnDelete. Both these functions are initially assigned the NOBODY access code. For more information, see the article on managing functions.
