Processing of Secure Information
In the Windchill user interface inaccessible values for a particular user are shown as ‘Secured Information. Windchill REST Services also includes this information. The inaccessible structural properties will show with null value in the response, but the response will include also include an annotation PropertyName@PTC.AccessException where PropertyName is the secure property. The value of the annotation is as follows:
• “Secured Information’ for simple properties.
