Overview of Data Access Set Security

Data Access Sets secure access to ledgers, ledger sets, and portions of ledgers using primary balancing segment values.

If you have primary balancing segment values assigned to a legal entity, then you can use this feature to secure access to specific legal entities.

You can combine ledger and ledger set assignments in single data access sets if the ledgers share a common chart of accounts and calendar. If you have primary balancing segment values assigned to a legal entity within the ledger, then you can use data access sets to secure access to specific legal entities. You can also secure access to primary balancing segments assigned directly to the ledger.

When a ledger or ledger set is created, a data access set for that ledger or ledger set is automatically created, giving full read and write access to those ledgers. You can also manually create data access sets to give read and write access, or read-only access to entire ledgers or portions of the ledger represented as primary balancing segment values.

The following figure shows that a data access set consists of an access set type and an access level. The access set type can be set to full ledger or primary balancing segment value. The access level can be read only or read and write.

This figure shows the components of a data access set. A data access set has an access set type and an access level.

The Full Ledger access set type provides access to the entire ledger or ledger set. This could be for read-only access or both read and write access to the entire ledger.

The Primary Balancing Segment Value access set type provides access to one or more primary balancing segment values for that ledger. This access set type security can be specified by parent or detail primary balancing segment values. The parent value must be selected from the tree that's associated with the primary balancing segment of your chart of accounts. The specified parent value and all its descendants, including middle level parents and detail values are secured. You can specify read only, read and write access, or combination of both, for different primary balancing segment values for different ledgers and ledger sets.
