Security level
A security level is a one-digit field that describes which users have access to data item information and employee information. Security levels range from 1 to 9, with 1 being the most restrictive. For users to have access to an employee's information or a data item, the user's security level (which is assigned in the environment) must be the same or less than the employee's security level or the data item's security level.
See Setting up security.
If you use LAUA security, see LAUA Security Administration Guide for more information on setting up user security parameters in the environment.
Example: Data item security
Two Rivers Company have placed the following parameters on the Hire Date data item. The 5 placed in the Security Level field allows users with a security level of 5 or less to access the data contained in the Hire Date field on employee records. If a user's security level is 6 or higher, they cannot access the information in the Hire Date field.
