Security for test results

Other test components (test, test order, sample) are objects and can be controlled by standard security. Test results are a detail of a test order.

Access to the Test Results form is controlled by form security set by a role for frmTestResult. This access includes Form Explorer, the Test menu, and the Test Results button on the Item, Formula, and Test Order forms.

Access to the Test Results grid is controlled by the TESTRESSEARCH record in the FSOBJECTDATA table that has:

  • owner: ADMIN
  • group: ADMIN

Suppose the user is not the owner or in the owner’s group. Then, the role must have a row for TESTRESSEARCH in the Object Security tab. The Security Level value for the role must be at least 3-Read/Copy.

What if a user has at least Read/Copy access according to their TESTRESSEARCH record? Then access to the actual test results is controlled by object security on the associated Test Order form.

  • Owner Security: On the associated test order
  • Group Security: On the associated test order

  • Role Security: On the associated test order and object security for the role on the TESTRESSEARCH object.
