Security

Within FDM, you can secure almost every menu item, button, screen, and report. Security features are restricted to administrators. FDM supports two levels of security:

Application object security—Governs access to forms and form controls
Location security—Governs access to locations

Security levels are applied to users and application objects, and the levels assigned to users and objects are compared at runtime. If a user is assigned a level that equals or exceeds the level assigned to the object that the user is trying to access, the object is available to the user. Object-maintenance tasks are performed in the Web client.
