Defining Application Services
Please refer to Application Security for a description of how application services are used when you grant user groups access rights transactions. Refer to Action Level Security for more information about the significance of an application service's access modes.
You can access the portal using Admin > Security > Application Service. You are brought to a query portal with options for searching for a specific application service. Once a record has been selected you are brought to the maintenance portal to view and maintain the selected record.
Note:
When introducing a new record, carefully consider its naming convention. Refer to System Data Naming Convention for more information.
The Application Service zone provides the information about the application service and its access modes.
The Secured Objects zone displays the object (or objects) that are secured by this application service. Refer to Application Security for details about the types of objects that may be secured.
