Security Status

A user can assign security status to an object if Y is specified for Object Security Mode on the Site Options panel. To do this when creating or editing an object, a user must display the Object Attributes panel, using the ATTRIBUTES primary command. (Use the AT line command to display this panel from a selection list.)

From the Object Attributes panel, the user can edit the setting for Security Status. Security Status settings are:

  • PUBLIC
  • READONLY
  • PRIVATE

The enabled security exit determines the significance of the security status setting (that is, PUBLIC, READONLY, or PRIVATE). Optim™ allows you to change the status setting, display the setting on various information panels, and pass the status value to the security exit, but do not use the assigned status in any other way.

The security status for objects is displayed on selection lists if the User Option for Selection List Format is “F” for FULL. Also, a user can display the security status for an object by using the I line command on a selection list. These selection list displays cannot be edited, however.
