Understanding the Security Workbench Records Reports

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides two Security Workbench Records reports—Security by Object (R009501) and Security by User/Role (R009502)—that you can run to review the current security records by object type and user or role. The Security Workbench Records reports list security records for these objects:

  • Interactive and batch applications.

  • Tables (rows and columns).

  • Published business services.

Before choosing which report to run, you should consider the data that you want the report to produce. Run the Security by Object report (R009501) to generate a report that lists the security records based on a particular object, object type, or product code. You can refine the data selection for this report to list only records for a particular user ID, role, or a combination of user ID and role. Run the Security by User/Role report (R009502) to generate a report that lists all the application, row, column, and published business service security records for a particular user ID, role, or *PUBLIC.

Each report contains processing options that you can use to define the output of the report. Along with the processing options, you can use the Data Selection form in the Batch Version application (P98305W) to further refine the data that the report produces.

Each security record in the report indicates the level of security, or type of security, that is applied to the object. For application security, each record indicates if a user or role has permission to install, run, or both install and run the application. For row security, each record indicates if view, add, change, or delete security have been applied. For column security, each record indicates if view, add, or change security have been applied. For published business service security, each record indicates whether a user or role has access to the published business service object.

How you set up your report determines how readily you can find gaps in your security plan. For example, if you have a highly sensitive application and you want to ensure that only the appropriate users have access to it, you can refine the R009501 report (Security Audit Report by Object) to list only the security records for that particular application.
