# Access control

{% hint style="success" %}
Available since Valtimo `12.10.0`. Document property conditions available since `13.25.0`.
{% endhint %}

Access to the documents that were uploaded to the case, can be configured through access control. More information about access control can be found in the [access control documentation](/features/access-control.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
`com.ritense.resource.authorization.ResourcePermission` is deprecated and automatically translated to `ZgwDocument` on save. Existing configurations continue to work unchanged.
{% endhint %}

<table><thead><tr><th width="329">Resource type</th><th width="143">Action</th><th>Effect</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>com.ritense.documentenapi.authorization.ZgwDocument</code></td><td><code>view_list</code></td><td>Allows viewing the list of documents</td></tr><tr><td></td><td><code>view</code></td><td>Allows downloading a document</td></tr><tr><td></td><td><code>create</code></td><td>Allows uploading a document</td></tr><tr><td></td><td><code>modify</code></td><td>Allows modifying the metadata of a document</td></tr><tr><td></td><td><code>delete</code></td><td>Allows deleting a document</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Condition fields

The following fields can be used in `field` conditions on `ZgwDocument`:

| Field                              | Type     | Description                                         |
| ---------------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `vertrouwelijkheidaanduiding`      | `String` | Confidentiality level (e.g. `openbaar`, `geheim`)   |
| `status`                           | `String` | Document status (e.g. `definitief`, `in_bewerking`) |
| `informatieobjecttypeUrl`          | `String` | URL of the informatieobjecttype                     |
| `informatieobjecttypeOmschrijving` | `String` | Description of the informatieobjecttype             |

{% hint style="warning" %}
The document list endpoint does not filter documents by these conditions — all documents for the case are returned. Only single-document operations (view, download, modify, delete) enforce the full conditions.
{% endhint %}

### Examples

#### Permission to list all documents

```json
{
    "resourceType": "com.ritense.documentenapi.authorization.ZgwDocument",
    "action": "view_list",
    "conditions": []
}
```

#### Permission to download only public documents

```json
{
    "resourceType": "com.ritense.documentenapi.authorization.ZgwDocument",
    "action": "view",
    "conditions": [
        {
            "type": "field",
            "field": "vertrouwelijkheidaanduiding",
            "operator": "==",
            "value": "openbaar"
        }
    ]
}
```

#### Permission scoped to a case type using a container condition

```json
{
    "resourceType": "com.ritense.documentenapi.authorization.ZgwDocument",
    "actions": ["view_list", "view", "create", "modify", "delete"],
    "conditions": [
        {
            "type": "container",
            "resourceType": "com.ritense.document.domain.impl.JsonSchemaDocument",
            "conditions": [
                {
                    "type": "field",
                    "field": "documentDefinitionId.caseDefinitionId.key",

                    "value": ["bezwaar"]

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.valtimo.nl/features/case/zgw/zgw-documents/access-control.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
