Resources
The Resources table defines what types of resources (such as alerts, widgets, or reports) a user has. If a certain type of resource is disabled in this table, the user's account will not have a container context for resources of this type, i.e. it won't be possible to create and manage such resources.
If a user already had some resources of a certain type and this type of resource was disabled in the Resources table, the existing resources will not be deleted. However, those resources won't be available until the resource type will be re-enabled.
 | Disabling resources differs from disabling access to these resources. If access to certain resource or resource container is not granted in the user's permissions table, other users will still be able to access and manage these resources. However, if a certain resource type is disabled in the Resources table, the container and its child resources will be unavailable for all Iotellect Server users. |
The default availability for all resource types is globally configurable through the Default User Permissions table.
 | In large <Iotellect> installations with thousands of users, most of the users should have only the necessary resource types enabled. Having unused resource types enabled for all or most users will cause high memory usage and slow down server startup/shutdown. |
The resources table may be accessed via the resources variable.
