Defining a permission

A permission is a right to access a particular Infor Public Sector feature or perform a particular action, such as the right to access the Employee Lookup or the right to create employee records. In addition to the standard permissions, you can define your own. You can even define permissions for individual fields and grids.

After you define a permission, Infor Public Sector shows the permission in the Permissions tree with its access ID. You can use the check box to the left of the permission's node "Permission" node to grant the permission. You can also use a permission's access ID to grant access to an individual control in the Page Editor.

  1. Select System > Security > Access Control.
  2. In the Role Information tree, browse to the Permissions node of any role.
  3. Right-click the Permissions node and select Specify Permissions for Role.
  4. In the Permissions tree, browse to the access group "Access Group" node that you want to add a permission to.
  5. Right-click the "Access Group" node "Access Group" node and select Create Permission.
  6. Type a name for the permission in the Permission Name field.
  7. Click Save.

    Infor Public Sector closes the dialog box and shows the new permission in the Permissions tree. Infor Public Sector also generates an access ID for the permission and shows it to the right of its name. If the check box for the permission's access group is selected, Infor Public Sector automatically selects the new permission, granting it to the current role.

    If the permission is not selected, you can select it to grant this permission to the current role. You can also use the permission's access ID to grant access to specific controls in the Page Editor.
