Data Security for Trading Partners

The trading partner item data security lets you control access to trading partner items data sets. The privileges for trading partner items are managed through the Manage Trading Partner and Trading Partner Item task available in the Product Information Management work area.

By default, trading partners are set to public. To enable data security, select the Private check box and enter privileges using the security section. Data security that's applied at the trading partner level applies to all trading partner items for that trading partner. The owner or administrator of the trading partner item type or person with view and manage data grants can access the content. If data security is enabled for trading partner items for a given trading partner items, all trading partner items created will inherit the data grants from the trading partner level.

A private trading partner item can only be viewed by a specific set of users or groups that have been granted the data grants to view the object. Once a trading partner item is marked private, it can't be made public again. If you mark or enable data security at the trading partner level, all existing trading partner items for the trading partner will inherit the data grant created for the person logged in as the owner.

Note: The security subsection in the Edit Trading Partners page is only displayed for trading partner items when data security is enabled for the trading partner items.
