Access policy rules

Help
1

I see how we can use access policies to control access like this :

created_by equals $CURRENT_USER

but what if I want to compare created_by to something else?

What if i want to let users link items through a o2m field EVEN if they are not the ones who created them ?

but why ? you might ask.
Because I want the editors to have the ability to link items even if they are not the owners of these items.

But, I still want to make sure that items belong together

ex:
an artist creates a “record” item.
same artist creates a “discography” item

editor comes in and links the record to the discography.
We need to make sure both the record and the discography belong to the same artist.

My goal is to achieve this through the api but use access_policies to validate the links

I hope I was clear enough!

Thanks!

Hello @Posoroko

Standard validation rules operate on a single item’s data at a time.

You will have to use a bloking flow and then fetch the data of song and album, and then check if the created_by is the same for both, if yes, then continue, else throw an error.
