Understanding Security Workbench

Use Security Workbench to apply security to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications, application versions, forms, and other objects within EnterpriseOne that are described in this chapter. You can apply security for these objects to users, roles, or *PUBLIC.

Note: The Security Workbench is available on both the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne web client and EnterpriseOne Windows client.

When applying object level security, you need to consider how EnterpriseOne checks for security. When a user signs in, the system first checks the user ID for security. If no object security is assigned to the user ID, then it checks the role (if the user is part of a specific role), and then finally it checks *PUBLIC.

You can also use the Security Workbench to apply security to user defined objects (UDOs), which is described in Managing Security for User Defined Objects.

In addition to the tools for setting up object security described in this chapter, the Security Workbench provides reports that you can run to perform an audit of Security Workbench security records. See Running Security Workbench Records Reports in this guide for more information.
