If I want it to be related to the Core which means that it's not going to be only related to this view, but whatever I change in the Core will affect this view. For more explanation on the permissions, there is this tutorial which is available in the Description. You can go watch this tutorial and also maybe do some changes.

That's all I can say for most questions being asked because the code really tells you what has been done. There are many ways for you to learn how JCB does things by making changes and then compiling your component and looking at what changed. Usually using something like Git will be very useful in discovering the changes. There's also a way for you to know where in the Compiler specific code is being created which I will show you as we continue.
