ION Desk authorizations

Access to ION Desk can be restricted based on user's role.

The concepts behind the role based authorizations of ION Desk 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 Desk pages.
Desk Permissions View user-specific permissions to access ION Desk pages.
My Permissions View permissions to access ION Desk 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 Desk.

For example: Connect > Data Flows 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:
