Defining the Object Security Report

This procedure describes how to define the Object Security Report. This report shows, for a specific profile and for each selected object name within a profile, the security policies and the users who have been assigned to the object.

The procedure assumes you want to create a new report definition.

To define the Object Security Report

  1. From the Lawson Security Administrator main menu, select Reports and then select Report Maintenance.
  2. From the Report Maintenance console, select New Report.
  3. From the New Report dialog box, select Object Security Report.

    The report definition screen appears.

    Form clip: Object Security Report
  4. Type a name for the report. The name can be up to 30 characters.
  5. Select a Profile from the drop-down list.
  6. Type the name of a securable object that you want to audit use of.

    For example, to check access attempts for HR11.1 and AP20.1, type HR11.1 and then click Add. Then type AP20.1 and click Add. Objects that will appear in the report are listed in the second dialog box. You can click Remove to take an object out of the report.

    You must type the name of the object exactly as it appears in the Lawson Security Administrator Object Selector. If you are typing a form name, such as HR11.1, use all uppercase letters. If you are typing an environment executable name, such as, jobdef, use all lowercase. (The report does not check for object names. If you type an incorrect name, the report will fail or will not locate any records.)

  7. Click OK when you are finished adding securable objects.

    Your report definition has been created and you are now ready to run it.
