Tizen is an open source platform residing within the Linux Foundation. It includes an operating system which can run smartphones, tablets, netbooks, onboard devices in smart cars as well as smart TVs. We wanted to see what it would take to integrate a Tizen app with Backendless because the benefits of such integration would be huge. For instance, data can be easily shared between different implementations of an app: a Tizen version of the app can easily communicate with the one running on Android or iOS by the means of Backendless service APIs.
Our Data Service supports a very flexible security mechanism for restricting access to objects stored in Backendless. Security permissions apply to users and roles. A permission can either grant or reject an operation for a particular asset. In the context of Data Service, the asset is an object which your app can retrieve, update or delete. Permissions can be granted or rejected globally, where they apply to all tables and all objects in the data store. Additionally, every table may have its own permission matrix and owner policy – a special instruction whether object owners can or cannot retrieve/update/delete the objects they ‘own’. Finally, every object has its own Access Control List (ACL) which is a matrix of permissions for the operations applicable specifically to the object:
