About Controlling Access to Data

Authorization refers to the privileges or resources that a user is entitled to within Siebel CRM. Even among authenticated users, organizations generally want to restrict visibility to operating system data. Siebel CRM uses two primary access-control mechanisms:

• View-level access control to manage which application functions a user can access.

• Record-level access control to manage which data items are visible to each user.

Access control provides Siebel customers with a unified method of administering access to many content items for many users. For more information, see Configuring Access Control.
