Setting Security Options

Set up role-level, report, batch, and location security options.

In Data Management, service administrators and power users can enable security for almost any user interface and report feature. Data Management supports four levels of security:

• Role level security—Controls access to components of the user interface that each user can access.

• Report security—Controls the reports that can be executed based on the report groups assigned to a role.

• Batch security—Controls the batches that can be executed based on the batch group assigned to a role.

• Location security—Controls access to locations.

Security levels apply to users. Role and Location security levels assigned to users are compared at runtime. If a user is assigned a level that is equal to the level assigned to the feature that the user is trying to access, the feature is available to the user.

In Data Management, administrators can control user access to locations using location security.
