Resource security allows the administrator to restrict a user's resource information access by assigning the user to one or more resource nodes in the hierarchy. Those resource nodes are the user's root nodes. Once assigned to those root nodes, the user has access only to those resource nodes and all of their children.
Resource security settings are honored the next time the user logs in. Thus, if you modify your own resource security settings, the changes will not take place until you exit the module and login again.
To enable resource security by assigning the user to a resource node:
- Choose Admin, Users.
- Click the Global Access tab.
- Select a user from the list.
The bottom of the Global Access tab displays the selected user's current resource access information. - To enable resource security, click the browse button in the Resource Access field, and assign up to five resource nodes to the current user.
The current user gets access only to the selected resources and their children after the next login.
To enable resource security by giving the user no access to any resources:
- Choose Admin, Users.
- Click the Global Access tab.
- Select a user from the list.
The bottom of the Global Access tab displays the selected user's current resource access information. - To give the current user no access to resources:
- Clear the All Resources Access checkbox, if it is marked.
- Delete the Resource Access field, if it is not empty.
The current user gets no access to any resources after the next login. This is the default for new users.
Notes
- The All Resources Access option disables resource security and gives the user access to all resources.
- Admin Superuser always has All Resources access, regardless of the resource security access settings.
- If you have restricted or no resource access, you cannot give All Resource access. This option is enabled only for users with all resource access.
