Assigning Actor Context Values
Use this procedure to assign actor context values using secadm
. Actor context values are used in both application
data and security processing, such as by affecting which data an actor
(user) may view. Therefore, the values specified in this procedure
will impact both.
If you need to add numerous actor context records, consider
using secadm
in script mode. For
example, a script would be useful if you want to add
an HROrganization context value for a large number of actors.
When you use secadm to add actor context values,
if the key field for which you want to assign context values has not
been designated as a context property, the context property will be
created. However, the isPervasive and userModifiable fields are set
to false for the context property. If you need to modify those fields,
use secadm actor ctxproperty
.
Be sure to refer to the administration guide for your application to determine the specific actor context settings for your installed product(s).
