Dash provides a simple lifecycle for Asset resources to facilitate review and approval before they are accessible to other users, and also keep them BINNED after deletion so they can be retrieved. The lifecycle has four states
- STAGED
- PENDING_APPROVAL
- LIVE
- BINNED
Depending on the Asset.lifecycleStatus.state value an Asset resources will only be visible to certain users.
Asset resources begin in the STAGED state. While in the STAGED state Asset resources are only visible to the user who created the Asset and users where User.isAdmin = true.
A User with permission to create new Asset resources may not have the permission to move it to the LIVE state. While in the PENDING_APPROVAL state Asset resources are only visible to users where User.isAdmin = true.
Once in the LIVE state Asset resources visibility is defined by UserGroup permissions (currently only configurable via the Dash frontend, not via the API)
