Modifying or deleting a secured action

If you rename or delete a secured action, the secured action is de coupled from all elements assigned to the element in the Application Architect. Although the relationship no longer exists, the element is still secured until you manually remove the secured action from the Applied Security property of the control in the Application Architect.

Note: The system administrator and users with the appropriate role can access these features. See What are Roles and Secured Actions?

For example, you created a secured action named Print or Reports and added that action to the Print option on the Reports view. If you delete the Print or Reports secured action, the Print option control still displays Print or Reports in the Applied Security property in the Application Architect although the action do not exist. When a user accesses the Reports view, the user cannot access the Print option because this feature is not assigned to a role that contains the Print or Reports secured action. The admin login can access all user interface elements, regardless of secured actions.

If you require to remove security from the element, delete the secured action and manually remove the action from the Applied Security property of the control in the Application Architect.

Note: The application recommends you save the information on the Secured Action Locations tab before renaming or deleting an action. See Locations tab

To recover a secured action:

If you accidentally delete (or rename) a secured action, you can create a new secured action with the same name which re-links the action to any controls that use the action in the Application Architect. If you manually removed the action from the Applied Security property on the control in the Application Architect, the action do not re-link to the control. The new secured action name must exactly match the previous secured action name.
