Security Types

By default, users have full access to the objects via the access methods specified in their user groups. If the implementation plans to implement additional levels or rules, then the Application Service must use Service Types. The Service Type definition allows additional tags to be attached to service definitions and then code written to detect and take advantage of the presence of the tag to limit security access to specific object data. For example, whether data is masked or not or some limit is placed on values of data.

To define security types, use the Security Types menu option on the Administration menu:

Field	Description
Security Type	The identifier for the security code.
Description	A brief description of the security code’s purpose.
Authorization Levels	Lists the authorization level codes and associated descriptions. The codes are free-formatted but should be representative of the desired function. Use the Add icon to insert a security code or use the Delete icon to remove an existing code.
Application Service Id	Lists Application Services associated with the security code. Use the Add icon to insert a security code or use the Delete icon to remove an existing code.

Note: Include security codes in objects to fully implement the rules associated with the security types.
