Security controls

You can implement security controls for users, such as authorizations and security profiles.

Security profiles for users
You can specify the security profile for a user. You can assign the user to groups and set other security attributes. These attributes include default insert sites, storeroom sites, and default storerooms.
Database access for users
By default, users do not have authorization to access the database. However, in some instances, users need access to the database. For example, a user might need database authorization to view tables and columns to create reports.
Default insert sites for users
In the Users application, you assign users to a default insert site to insert records. The records that users view pertain only to the default insert site. Without a default insert site, some applications cannot function. For example, without a default insert site, users cannot add purchase orders in a site-level application.
