Relationship rules

Each relationship type can have rules that are enforced by the server to help keep the items properly related.

  • compositeShare—Related items are logically treated as one shareable item.
    • Prerequisites
      • Both items must be owned by the owner of the relationship.
      • Both items must be shared the same way.
    • Rules
      • If the origin item is shared, the destination item is shared the same way.
      • Sharing of the destination item is not allowed.
  • compositeDelete—Related items are logically treated as one item upon deletion.
    • Prerequisites
      • Both items must be owned by the owner of the relationship.
    • Rules
      • If the origin item is deleted, the destination item is deleted.
      • If the destination item is deleted, the origin item is not affected.
  • copyOriginShareOnAdd—The destination item inherits all the sharing permissions of the origin item and is an overwrite of the destination item permissions. This rule applies to addItem with the relationship call.
  • mustOwnOriginItem—The creator of the relationship must own the origin item.
  • mustOwnDestinationItem—The creator of the relationship must own the destination item.
  • mustOwnAllItems—The creator of the relationship must own both related items.
  • childListing—Both the source (parent) and the destination (child) items must be listed: the parent publicly and the child privately.
