Access control

There are several different ways to control access within the mobile app.

First, many elements in the Mobile configuration have an AccessItem attribute. You can specify one or more access IDs, as defined in Infor Operations and Regulations Access Control, in a comma-separated list. Users must be granted each of the specified permissions to have access to that item. For example, each Profile node has an AccessItem attribute that controls access to that profile.

You can also use profiles to control access. In this case you use the Profiles attribute of a node in the Mobile configuration to specify one or more of the profiles that are defined on the Profiles node. Only users who are assigned to one of those profiles will have access to that item. For example, you can use profiles to control access to menu items.

In some cases you can also use access templates to set up more complex access control. For example, queries can have access filters that use access templates to limit the records that a query will return. Access templates can also be used to set conditions for view actions.
