Enterprise Control
Understand exactly which controls are available in each product so you can configure the right permissions for your team.
Grid Enterprise Control
Grid Controls give Admins and Designers precise, grid-level authority over what Standard Users can see and do inside any grid. Rather than applying blanket restrictions across the entire application, Grid Controls let you tailor the experience per grid so different teams, workflows, or data objects can each have exactly the right level of access.
Who Can Configure Grid Controls
Grid Controls can be set by Admins and Designers. Standard Users cannot access this screen

Section-by-Section Breakdown
The following sections explain each group of controls in detail, with notes on any differences between Wave Embedded and Wave Extension.
Toolbar
Each toolbar item has two independent controls: a permission checkbox that governs whether Standard Users can interact with that feature, and a display mode selector that controls how the button appears in the toolbar.
Display Mode
Each toolbar item (except Sort and Layout) supports three display states:
Hidden (eye icon)
The button is not shown in the toolbar at all.
—
Icon only
The button shows as an icon with no text label.
—
Icon + Label
The button shows the icon alongside its text label.
—

Group — Let users group rows by specific field values. Set the display mode to control whether the Group button is hidden, icon only, or icon + label.
Column Group — Controls whether users can group data by specific columns. Set the display mode alongside the permission checkbox.
Mass Modifier — Let users apply bulk edits to multiple records at once. Set the display mode to hidden, icon only, or icon + label.
Sort — Controls whether Standard Users can sort data using the column headers. Display mode: hidden or icon only.
Layout — Let users adjust the grid layout. Display mode: hidden or icon only.

Supported
Supported
Refresh On Save — (Wave Embedded only) When enabled, Wave automatically refreshes modified records after each save — so users always see the latest data without a manual page refresh. This is enabled by default.
Batch Size — Admins can set how many records are processed per batch when saving, helping large saves avoid payload limit errors.
Access Options
Make Grid Read-Only
Supported
Not available
Allow Creating Custom Grids
When ON, Standard Users can create their own personal Custom Grids from a Global Grid. Their copy does not affect the Global Grid or any other user.
Allow Sharing Custom Grids with All Users
When ON, Standard Users can share their Custom Grids with the rest of the organization. This option only appears when Allow Creating Custom Grids is also enabled.
Make Grid Read-Only (Wave Embedded only)
Prevents standard users from making any changes to the grid, they can only view it. No editing, filtering, sorting, or layout changes are possible.
Enabling Read-Only automatically unchecks Allow Creating Custom Grids. Any Personal Grids or Custom Grids that standard users had already created from this Global Grid are permanently deleted as a result.
Revoking Custom Grid Access Deletes Existing Custom Grids
If you turn off Allow Creating Custom Grids after it was previously enabled, a warning will appear. Confirming will permanently delete all Custom Grids created from this Global Grid. This cannot be undone.
