Defining signature options for an application

Signature options specify privileges for using applications, menu options, and toolbar items. You apply signature options to groups of users to control their access to data, to applications, and to controls. New applications are automatically assigned a READ signature option. You can add more signature options in the Application Designer.

Procedure

  1. Open the application in the Application Designer.
  2. Select the Add Modify Signature Options in the Select Action menu and click New Row.
  3. Specify a signature option in the Option field.
  4. Optional: Add additional signature options in the Option Also Grants field.
    Use commas to separate multiple entries if you want to enable more than one additional signature option.
    For example, if the signature option grants access to the People application, you can add signature options that grant access to a related application, such as the Users application.
  5. Optional: In the Option Also Revokes field, specify any signature options that are revoked as a result of adding the primary option.
    For example, you add a signature option that allows read-only access to an application. You want to remove any write access to the application that users with the read-only signature option have. To remove the write access, you specify the signature option that grants write access to the application in the Option Also Revokes field.
  6. Save the signature options.
