M3 Adaptation Kit Configuration Guidelines

M3 Adaptation Kit (MAK) Access Control is used to control access for different entities in MAK. It is a way to enforce the license agreement that is active for MAK and the Infor Application Suite source code.

A user can use the default access mode settings or enable Extended Access Mode. When default settings are used, a user is allowed access to all entities, except programs, database interfaces, and data structures. When Extended Access Mode is enabled, a user is allowed access to all entities. These default configuration of MAK Access Control and usage rights are specified in the following table:

Type Default Configuration

Note: MAK passwords that will be used to enable Extended Access Mode are given only to those who have the right to access entities.

At a customer site, the MAK administrator or installer who configures MAK should always contact the Infor Project Manager or Account manager for information about a specific customer’s MAK usage rights as they are carefully regulated.
