Column Security on an Application

Before you set up column security on an application, do these:

  • Verify that the object that you want to secure is in the application.

  • Verify that you are securing the correct data item in an application (data item descriptions can be similar, if not identical).

For example, if you want to apply column security to data item UGRP (UserRole) in the Object Configuration Manager application (P986110), you first verify that the item is in the application. Because it is in the application, you can apply security to the data item. However, note that data items UGRP, MUSE, USER, and USR0 all contain the identical data description of User ID. Verify the item by its alias, not by its data description.
