Adding External Call Security

Enter P00950 in the Fast Path.

  1. On the Work With User/Role Security form, select the Form menu, Set Up Security, External Calls.

  2. On the External Calls Security form, complete these fields and click Find:

    • User / Role

      Enter a complete user or group ID, which includes *PUBLIC but not wildcards.

    • Executable

      Enter the name of the external application, such as debugger.exe. When you enter information into this field, the software searches only for the indicated application.

      Current security settings for that user or group appear under the Secured node in the tree. Expand the node to view the individual secured applications, such as debugger.exe.

  3. In the Create with region, select the Run Security option.

  4. Complete one of these steps:

    • Drag applications from the UnSecured node to the Secured node.

    • To move all applications to the Secured node, select All Objects from the Row menu.

      The external call applications now appear under the Secured node and have the appropriate security.

      For example, to set run security on the Business Function Design application, select the Run Security option and then drag the Business Function Design node from the UnSecured node to the Secured node. The detail area reflects the run security that you set for this application, which means that the user you entered could not run the Business Function Design application.

  5. To change the security on an item, select the item under the Secured node, select the Run Security option, and then, from the Row menu, select Revise Security.

    In the grid, the value in the Run field changes accordingly.
