Understanding Media Object Security
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne enables you to secure users from adding, changing, deleting, or viewing media objects within interactive applications, forms, or application versions. You can apply media object security to ensure that media object attachments cannot be modified or tampered with after they have been added.
As of Tools Release 9.2.6, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne enables you to secure users from adding, changing, deleting, or viewing media objects through AIS REST APIs or Orchestrations based on the media object structure being accessed in the APIs.
If you apply view security to media object attachments, Security Workbench automatically prevents the user from adding, deleting, or changing media objects. If you apply change security to media object attachments, Security Workbench automatically prevents the user from deleting the media object.
Media object security enables you to use media object attachments as a mechanism for recording justifications for transactions and for legal purposes. For example, your company may have a business process that requires clerks to use media object attachments to document the reason or justification for adjusting a price on an item in a transaction. In this case, you would allow the clerks to add and view media object attachments in an application, but secure them from deleting or modifying them. In addition, this type of security prevents users from modifying or deleting attachments that others have added. As a result, the media object attachments provide secured information about previous transactions. This information can be reviewed by interested parties for legal or other purposes.
