The software permissions of a shortcut and its target object can be independently configured to enable control of user group accessibility.
Whenever these software permissions are set such that the user can see the target object by means of the shortcut, the user has the same read/write access to the shortcut as is set up for the target object.
The shortcut inherits all the commands of the target object type (but not all of these commands act upon the target object).
Inherited commands applied at the shortcut operate on either the shortcut itself, or on the target object, as listed in the following table:
