Relationship Permission Logic in Aras Innovator

A Relationship will inherits permission from its parent when ItemType uses "UseSrcAccess". Although using same permission, the background check logic is a little different.
In general, system will check "CanAdd" from ItemType when user executes "add" action, and will check Permission's Access for "edit" and "delete" action.
As long as an item is a Relationship with "UseSrcAccess", system will check if "can update" permission of its parent is available alternatively when executing "add" and "delete" action.
I guess this kind of design aims for the data safety of adding/deleting Relationship due to user cannot only delete Relationship without editing parent Item in normal situation. But in some customization scenarios, operating Relationship directly is possible (e.g. using AML command).

There are several Server Event could trigger Method during item promotion: ItemType: OnBeforePromote, OnAfterPromote; Life Cycle: Transition Pre, Transition Post. Trigger sequence of above events is shown in below figure: It's important to note that "Transition Post" cannot rollback while exception throws because item promotion is finished after "OnAfterPromote" That means even if throwing exception, the life cycle will still stay at promoted state. Please note, all above events will not be triggered when "OnPromote" event exists (due to this will overwrite original system process).
