Creating access lists

Access lists for users enable you to assign security based on users, roles, and groups.

Select ACL by User/Group/Role > Main tab.

Access lists for objects enable you to assign security based on specific objects and details.

Select ACL by Object > Main tab.

Screen element Description
Assignment Identifies how the row is managed. Values are:

AUTOMATIC (0) - the row was filled by a workflow script, using the SetSecurityACL () function.

MANUAL (1) - the row is managed manually by a user.

Code For manual assignments, select a code from the list.
Detail Code Shows a detail code, such as: Context Attributes, Sets, or Status. For manual assignments, select a detail code from the list.

Select All to include every detail code.

When you specify the MATRIX detail code for the object, the user will be able to access the Extension Table for the object. The Extension Table security will then check to see if the user has write access to the extension table based on the security for the user, group, role and set.
