Attribute Metadata - overrideUpdatePermission
overrideUpdatePermission meta data is used to allow user to store the value of attribute without update permission, but not modify it on Matrix42 GUI (web browser). If user has update permission to an attribute, the overrideUpdatePermission doesn't affect by any means. Read permission is needed always.
For example user can transform a data card to another template, but he cannot edit the values of the just transformed data card if he doesn't have an update permission to the attribute.
Note that overrideUpdatePermission configuration is done by attribute and permissions are configured by groups.
This configuration works only with normal attributes without any attribute handlers. Though, some handlers may support this, but it is not guaranteed.
Consider the security aspect before configuring this setting! Values seem to be un-editable by Matrix42 user interface (web browser). Though they are printed on html-form and accepted by the Matrix42 server as if user has update permission to the attribute.
This means that user can modify the values by using separate html form manipulation tools.
