About Attachment Category rules
 

Define an attachment category rule in your application to control the security of attachments on a work item. 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:

• 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):
