Security groups for menus are used to define access
levels to different parts of the system. You can connect all or
selected menu options to a security group.
Procedure
-
On the Maintain menu, click Rights/Security
Groups. The Security Groups window
opens.
-
On the Menus tab, click New to
create a new security group for menus. All fields are cleared for
entry.
-
In the Code text box, enter the new
security group code.
-
In the Name - Group and Name
- Local text boxes, enter a name or description of the
security group in both local and group languages.
-
In the Available Menus list box, select
the menu or menus you want to include in the security group and
define access rights for. Select the relevant access level option
button. If you define access rights for a main menu or a sub menu,
all underlying menus are automatically defined with the same access
level, but these can then be changed separately to a more restricted
access level.
-
Normal - the user
has full access to the menu, and read and write access to the contents
of the window. The menu name is displayed in black in this window.
-
Not available - the menu is removed from
the user's system. The menu name is displayed in red in this window.
-
Read-Only - the menu is available, but
the user only has read access to the contents of the window. The
menu name is displayed in blue in this window.
-
Click Save.
Results
Note: If you restrict the menu access rights to any of
the structures, for example, Account Structures, Extended Dimension
Structures or Form Structures, remember to also restrict access
to the corresponding Change Table menu.
