Data entity

A data entity is a public OData resource: a projection of a dictionary or a document on /odata/{PublicCollectionName}. It is not a web service (POST /api/rest/{Name}).

From a script, GetService<IDataEntityManager>() runs mapping, hooks, and the source RLS. Do not go to the source table with IDataService when you need the projection.

RequireExplicitRoles gates HTTP /odata only. A computed field in $filter is 400. Writing a read-only entity is 405.

The longer page — mapping, events, rights — is Data Entity.

Reference lists no data-entity card. The developer page is the authority for the OData shape.
