## Allowing Access to an Object

In the Access tab page, the 'Range of Editable Access Levels' indicator bar provides a relative indication of the range of access levels that can edit the object. The shaded area represents the access levels that can edit the object, while the vertical bar represents your current access level. See: Overview of Oracle Workflow Access Protection.

The indicator bar can be shaded solid green, or shaded with any combination of solid green and crosshatch grey. If the "Allow modifications of customized objects" check box in the "About Oracle Workflow Builder" dialog box of the Help menu is:

- Checked--The range of editable access levels can appear as a combination of solid green and crosshatch grey areas. The levels depicted by grey crosshatches represent levels that usually cannot modify customized objects, but can now do so because Oracle Workflow Builder is operating in 'upload' mode. Upload mode means that Oracle Workflow Builder can save your edits, overwriting any protected objects that you have access to modify as well as any previously customized objects.

- Unchecked--The range of editable access levels appears as a solid green area. This indicates that when you save your work, Oracle Workflow Builder is operating in 'upgrade' mode, only saving edits to protected objects that you have access to change and leaving objects that have been previously customized untouched.

These two modes match the upgrade and upload behavior of the Workflow Definitions Loader program. See: To Set the Access Level for an Object and Using the Workflow Definitions Loader.
