How do I Restrict permissions on value list value permissions?

Facundo

Hello,

I need to restrict permissions of objects that refers to a value list item, but the object already has permissions given by its class.

I have the class common admin, that give permissons to certain users, but in this class i have a value list property that should restrict this permissons,
as you can see in this image: the object has two value list selected, and by this, no one can see the document, but if i deactivate the first option (Common Admin given by class) and LAboratorio is still selected, permissions work as expected 


How can common admin permissions be automatically deactivated when Laboratorio Name access control list is active?

Thanks in advance

    You may need to reconsider the permission model for these types of documents. Automatic permissions from the class are always applied, and any permissions based on value list properties are layered on top of that.

    For a user to access the document, they must be included in both access control lists. In other words, value list based permissions can only further restrict the set of users who already have access through class permissions; they cannot grant access to additional users who are not included in the class-level permissions.
