Purpose

Define an attachment category rule in your application to control the security of attachments on a work object. The rule restricts operations that can be performed including create, edit, review, or delete. Access can depend on none, one, or all of these factors: 5.5 GRP-463 CASAD

Privileges — Held by the operator (or other requestor)
When rules — Runtime true-false tests
Attachment type — File, note, screen shot, scanned document, or URL
Work group — To which the operator belongs

Where referenced

Attachment category rules are referenced by the standard activities Work-.ProcessAddMultipleAttachments, Work-.AttachConvertedPDF, and Work-.ActionAddAttachment plus these standard flow actions (typically used as local actions):

Work-.AddAttachment
Work-.AddAttachmentFromMail
Work-.AddMultipleAttachments
Work-.AttachAFile
Work-.AttachANote
Work-.AttachAScreenShot

Work-.AttachAURL
Work-.ConvertAttachmentToPDF
Work-.EditAttachments

Also, attachment processing provided by the History and Attachment button () on work object forms enforces the restrictions defined in attachment category rules.
