Understanding Security for User Defined Objects

EnterpriseOne provides features for users to create custom grid formats, watchlists, queries, and other items, which are saved as user defined objects (UDOs) in EnterpriseOne. For example, if a user creates a query using the Query Manager, the query is saved as a UDO in an EnterpriseOne table. For a complete list of the types of UDOs users can create, see UDO Types in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Using and Approving User Defined Objects Guide.

EnterpriseOne provides UDO security features in the Security Workbench to control:

• Which UDO features are available in EnterpriseOne.

• Who can create UDOs for their own personal use.

• Who can request to publish (or share) UDOs with other users.

• Who can modify shared UDOs created by other users.

• Who can view/use shared UDOs created by other users.

#u30144159__CEGBIJJA describes the UDO security features available in EnterpriseOne.

UDO Security Type	Description
Feature	UDO feature security activates or deactivates each UDO feature globally in the EnterpriseOne system. UDO features are secure by default; they are not available in EnterpriseOne until you activate them in the "Revise Feature Enablement" form in the Security Workbench.
Action	UDO action security determines the actions users can perform with a particular UDO feature. UDO action security is set up by UDO feature for a user, role, or *PUBLIC (all users). UDO Action security options include: Create. Authorize users to create UDOs for their own personal use. Create and Publish. Authorize users to create and share personal UDOs with other users. Create, Publish, and Modify. Includes the preceding permissions plus the ability to modify UDOs created by other users.
View	UDO view security authorizes access to shared UDOs. You can apply UDO view security to each individual shared UDO for a user, role, or *PUBLIC. Or you can apply UDO view security to all shared UDOs of a particular UDO type. (Release 9.2.4) Beginning with Tools Release 9.2.4, as part of view security, system administrators can restrict access to the base EnterpriseOne forms so that users can access only the personalized forms and not the base forms.
Content (Composite Page and Application Framework UDOs only) (Release 9.2.0.2)	UDO content security applies to Composite Page and Composite Application Framework UDOs. In addition to setting up view security for Composite Page and Composite Application Framework UDOs, you must also set up content security to authorize users to view or work with the contents of a Composite Page and Composite Application Framework UDO.
