Use the Security Workbench application (P00950) to set up security for these JD Edwards Solution Explorer features:

This table describes the three general security settings for JD Edwards Solution Explorer features:

Security Setting

Description

Secured

Restricts the user from accessing the feature.

View

Allows read-only access to the feature but no modification capability.

Change

Gives the user full access to the feature with no restrictions on changing, adding, or deleting data.

In JD Edwards Solution Explorer, you can check the permissions for each feature for any user in the system. You view the settings by signing onto JD Edwards EnterpriseOne as the user whose settings you want to view, and then clicking the security button in the status bar of the JD Edwards Solution Explorer, which launches the Solution Explorer Security form. You cannot change the security settings from this form.

Note. You can also view existing Solution Explorer security records in P00950.

Besides preventing or allowing access to Fast Path, you can also set up Fast Path access in a restricted view. The restricted view prevents web client users from entering an application ID in the Fast Path to launch an application. Instead, users can enter menu IDs to access menus in the EnterpriseOne Menu. The menu ID must be associated to a menu in the Task Master table (F9000).

The restricted view also allows users to enter a mnemonic code, defined in the User Defined Code Values table (F0005), to launch an application or access a menu.

You can add UDCs for mnemonic codes using the User Defined Codes application (P0004A). Use these parameters when adding UDCs for mnemonic codes in P0004A:

Note. After you add UDCs for mnemonic codes, you must clear the cache in order for the UDCs to take affect in the system. See “Clearing Cache” in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Solution Explorer guide.

This example shows some of the mnemonic codes already defined in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne:

To set up UDCs for mnemonic codes, refer to the instructions on how to customize and add UDCs.

See Customizing User Defined Codes.

Security Workbench (P00950) contains security presets that determine default security settings for different types of users. These security presets correspond to novice (Preset One), intermediate (Preset Two), and expert (Preset Three) users. If you click one of these preset buttons, Solution Explorer changes the Security Revisions default settings for each feature.

Novice users require the most restrictive security settings; expert users require the least restrictive settings. Although you can fine-tune these default settings for a particular individual, using the default settings can free you from the task of manually choosing security setting options for each individual in the system because you can apply the settings to groups as well as to individual users.
