Managing Security | Top Previous Next

You can manage Security Assignments using the Security SubFocus of the Administration Focus. It consists of two tabs: Accounts and Permissions. On the Accounts tab you can link Security Roles to individual Employees or Workgroups. You can utilize either a User or Workgroup Forms to search for the individual User or workgroup you want to assign Security Role to. Create a new record in the User Roles or Workgroup Roles, and then link this Role to a User or Workgroup to create an Assignment. It is recommended to use the Workgroup Roles and assign Employees into Workgroups; this will allow for better visibility and improve manageability of Security Assignments. Use Employee to Role Assignments only if there is only a single Employee who needs to be granted a certain Role and using Workgroup Assignments appears not feasible. Use Permissions tab to create new and manage existing Security Roles. Another attribute of Security Role object is the Default Focus. Use this drop down field to specify the focus name to be displayed when User logs in. If Default Focus is not specified then My QueWeb screen will be displayed to the User by default when he or she logs into the application. If a User has several Security Roles assigned and thus several default Focuses, then Default Focus attribute of the Security Role with the smallest Key will take prevalence. In order to define Security Role and assign Access Rights to it, you will need to use Access Rights Form. While creating a new record, select the Object Type you want to assign Access Rights to. Having a value in the Object Type field will constraint the list of possible values in the Object Name field. Select the appropriate value in the Object Name reference field. Proceed to selecting the desired Access Level value from the dropdown. And make sure that Role reference field points to Security Role object you defined or selected in the previous step.
