Authorization

User authorization is the method of controlling which users can log on, create other users, have a particular type of access to specific items, and so on. The system administration client provides several authorization objects to accomplish this including privileges, privilege groups, privilege sets, and access control lists.

An access control list consists of users, user groups and privileges associated with each. When you associate an access control list with an item type, only the users on that list can access objects created in the system under this item type. The actions that users can perform on these objects depend on the privileges associated with them in the access control list.

User groups and roles can be synchronized with a LDAP server but specific authority configurations for the archive must be managed in Infor Document Management – get the users/groups/roles from LDAP but you need to setup which group/role can do what with a particular document.
