Authorizations
Access to ION can be
restricted based on user's role.
The concepts behind the role based authorizations of ION are described here.
This table shows the structure of the Authorizations menu:
| Page | Usage |
|---|---|
| Desk Profiles | Create profiles to map user roles to permissions to access ION pages. |
| Desk Permissions | View user-specific permissions to access ION pages. |
| My Permissions | View permissions to access ION pages of the current user. |
| Workflow Authorizations | Define mappings between user roles and workflows that may be started manually from Infor Ming.le. |
- Resource
- Each page that can be reached through the menu in ION.
For example: is a resource. Each resource can be authorized for no access or view-only access or full access.
- Permission
- A combination of a resource and the allowed action on the resource. For example: Allowing view access on the Data Flow page is called 'Permission'.
- Desk Profile
- A set of permissions. Each Desk Profile can be attached with or without
roles. The relationship between various entities and the boundaries in which
they exist is explained in this diagram:
