User Group - Application Services

Select Admin Menu > User Group and navigate to the Application Services tab to maintain a user group's access rights to an application service.

Note: Important! When you grant a user group access rights to an application service, you are actually granting all users in the user group access rights to the application service.

Description of Page

The Application Service scroll contains the application services to which the User Group has access.

Note: Note. You can also use Main page to select the application service for which you wish to change the access privileges. To do this, simply click the go to button adjacent to the respective application service.

To add additional application services to this user group, click the + icon and specify the following:

Enter the Application Service ID to which the group has access.
Define the Expiration Date when the group's access to the application service expires.

Define the Access Modes that users in this group have to the Application Service. When a new application service is added, the system will default all potential Access Modes associate with the Application Service. You need only remove those modes that are not relevant for the User Group. Refer to Action Level Security for more information about access modes.

CAUTION:

Important! If an application service supports actions that modify the database other than Add, Change, and Delete; you must provide the user with Change access in addition to the other access rights. Consider a transaction that supports actions in addition to Add, Change, and Inquire (e.g., Freeze, Complete, Cancel). If you want to give a user access to any of these additional actions, you must also give the user access to the Inquire and Change actions.

If you require additional security options, often referred to as "field level" security, then you use Security Type Code and assign an Authorization Level to each. When a new application service is added, the system will display a message indicating how many security types are associated with this application service. Use the search to define each Security Type Code and indicate the appropriate Authorization Level for this user group. Refer to Field Level Security for more information about security types.
