Page and Dialog Box Security

You can restrict access to PeopleSoft menus. You can set the access rights to the entire menu, such as Administer Workforce or PeopleTools Security, or just a specific item on that menu. Because the only normal way to access a PeopleSoft page is through a menu, if a user has no access to a particular menu or menu item, then you have effectively restricted that user's access to the corresponding page.

You can also restrict access to specific actions or commands on a page. For example, you may want a clerk in your sales office to be able to access contract data but not be able to update the data. In this case, you grant access to the set of pages, but you allow display-only access only. In this case, the clerk cannot update or correct any data. This approach enables users to get their work done while maintaining the security and integrity of your business data.
