Summary of Function Security
Functions:
- A function is a set of code in Oracle Applications that is executed only if the name of the function is present in a list maintained on a responsibility-by-responsibility basis.
- Functions can be excluded from a responsibility by a System Administrator.
- There are two types of function: a form function or form, and a non-form function or subfunction. A subfunction represents a securable subset of a form's functionality.
Form Functions:
- A function that invokes a form.
- Form functions appear in the Navigate window and can be navigated to.
Subfunctions:
- A function that is executed from within a form. Subfunctions can only be called by logic embodied within a Form Function.
- Subfunctions do not appear in the Navigate window and cannot be navigated to.
Menus:
- Menus contain menu entries which point to a function, another menu, or a function and another menu.
- Menus appear in the Navigate window.
- Menus can be excluded from a responsibility by a System Administrator.
