Secure a connection
As data from a connection is confidential and should not be accessed by unauthorized users, Infor Risk & Compliance gives you the option to secure your connections so that access is restricted to selected users.
The Connections page displays all existing online and offline connections categorized by ERP, and also indicates whether connections are secured or not secured.
You can secure a connection by assigning specific connection owners or connection users. Data from the connection is accessible only to these users. While the Administrators can access all connections as well as create and modify connections, connection owners can only view and modify connections that they own. They are authorized to create connections and may assign other connection owners to them.
Securing your connection ensures that data extracted through this connection is not available to unauthorized users. Connections may be secured at the time of creating them or at a later date. If securing connections at a later date, double-click the connection link and secure the connection as described below. Clear the check box Validate and Update Connection Parameters and then click
