Overview

Use this page to create access control lists for users, roles, and groups.

These lists define the level of security that a user, role, or group has to individual object types.

For example, you can restrict a user, role, or group from accessing a specific formula or item.

Main tab

The top of the Main tab prompts you for a User Type and Code.
Code

Use the Lookup to select a specific user, role, or group code.

User Type
Select one of these choices:
  • User
  • Role
  • Group

The bottom section of the Main tab is used to assign security access control to the specific object types.

After you save your manual entries, they are no longer displayed in the Main tab. They are displayed in the Reports tab.

To change an entry after it has been saved, re-enter the information on the Main tab.

You can delete saved entries by assigning the Delete ACL Entry code to the Security column in the Main tab.
