Abstract

Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable storage media for determining user access to custom metadata. In some implementations, a server receives a request by or on behalf of a first user of a computing environment for a first custom metadata entity. A custom metadata entity may be a metadata component customized for use in the computing environment and having an entity type specifying a class or a category of the metadata component. The server may identify an association record indicating that the first user has permission to access the requested custom metadata entity. In some implementations, the association records are stored in an association database accessible by the server, wherein each association record identifies a user and a custom metadata entity. The server may also provide data including the requested custom metadata entity to a computing device.
