This chapter contains these topics:
Using Group Level Security, you can determine what functions a specific group or specific user is allowed to perform.
Group refers to the World Writer Group, not User Group.
By default access to all Groups for all users is allowed for the Add, Change, Execute and Delete functions, provided the Version Level Security allows the access. To restrict users from these functions, access will need to be secured.
By default access is not allowed for the file update function. To allow users access to submit versions in the update mode, access will need to be added.
See Chapter 12, "Accessing the World Writer Advanced Operations Menu" for details.
Field Level Security is used to identify which fields in a file a user is permitted to view and update.
The defaults are:
All the fields in a field can be viewed and
No fields can be updated.
The primary purpose is to set up the access to allow a user to submit a version that updates a field. You can also prevent a user from viewing fields that contain sensitive data, such as salary.
See Chapter 12, "Accessing the World Writer Advanced Operations Menu" for details
Use Version Level Security to restrict users from executing, changing, copying, or deleting a specific version.
Enter the access level in the User Exclusive field on the Additional Parameters screen.
The Report Version Security program allows you to update the User Exclusive field by User ID, by Group or for all versions.
See Chapter 12, "Accessing the World Writer Advanced Operations Menu" for details.
Business Unit Security uses the JD Edwards World global technique of securing certain users from reporting on, or updating records within a specific range of business units.
See Appendix E, "World Writer and Business Unit Security" for details.
