HR Writer Data Item Security (HR68.1)

Use HR Writer Data Item Security (HR68.1) to assign security levels to data items accessed by the HR Writer that are not defined in HR10.1 (Data Item Attributes). Topics E1 through E8, EP, and DM are maintained in HR10.1 because you can assign attributes other than security level to the data items for those topics.

Processing Effect

When you run HR170 (HR Writer Report Request), or HR70.1 (HR Writer Inquiry Request), the user's Data Item Security Level, defined in HR09, is compared to the security level attached to each data item.

More Information

If the security level of the data item is equal to or greater than the user's Data Item Security Level or is blank, the item displays. A user can view all fields with a security level equal to or higher in numeric value than their Data Item Security Level.

For example, a user with a Data Item Security Level of 5 can view all data items with a security level of 5 through 9. That user cannot view data items with a security level of 1 through 4. If left blank, the Security Level field defaults to 9. If the Data Item Security Level is not defined for a user, it defaults to 9.
