https://sonarly.com/issue/23635?type=bug The permission validation layer unconditionally skips all permission checks for system objects (`isSystem === true`), allowing any authenticated user regardless of role to create, update, and delete records on system objects. Additionally, the default member role grants `canAccessAllTools: true`, which implicitly enables the VIEWS permission, allowing members to create workspace-level views even when admins intend to restrict their access. Fix: Removed the unconditional permission bypass for system objects (`isSystem === true`) in two locations: 1. **`permissions.utils.ts`** (enforcement layer): Removed the early return that skipped all CRUD and field-level permission validation when the target object was a system object. Now system objects go through the same permission checks as non-system objects. 2. **`workspace-roles-permissions-cache.service.ts`** (permission computation layer): Removed the `isSystem ? true : ...` override in `getPermissionValue()` that force-granted all permissions (read, update, soft-delete, destroy) for system objects regardless of the role's actual configuration. Now system object permissions follow the role's `canReadAllObjectRecords` / `canUpdateAllObjectRecords` flags and any explicit object permission overrides, just like non-system objects. **Why this is safe for internal operations:** System-context operations (background jobs, workspace migrations, cron jobs) already bypass permission checks entirely via `resolveRolePermissionConfig()`, which returns `{ shouldBypassPermissionChecks: true }` for system auth contexts. The `isSystem` bypass was redundant for these operations and only served to create a security hole for user-initiated requests. **Impact on existing members:** The default member role has `canReadAllObjectRecords: true`, `canUpdateAllObjectRecords: true`, `canSoftDeleteAllObjectRecords: true`, and `canDestroyAllObjectRecords: true`. So existing members retain access to system objects by default. The fix allows admins to restrict system object access by configuring role permissions, which was previously impossible. Also cleaned up the unused `isSystem` destructuring and `select` field that are no longer needed.

Why Twenty
We built Twenty for three reasons:
CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.
A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.
We believe in open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
