Folder or Segment based Security

In OFSAA, the metadata is specific to a folder or segment. That is, the Metadata within one folder is not available under other folders. Also, the application is enabled with folder-mapper security using which, user groups are mapped to specific folders or segments. Using these features, user access is restricted to specific metadata based on the legal entity to which the user or user group is mapped.

This is achieved using the following enhancements:

• Creating Legal Entity specific Folders
• Mapping User Groups to specific Folders, based on the Legal Entity they belong to.
• Mapping User Groups to specific Legal Entities, using the Mapper feature, which is available as part of AAI.

Because a folder is specific to a legal entity and user groups are mapped to both Legal entities and folders, implicitly, each User Group, thereby a user under that User Group, can access only those Folders which are specific to the legal entity to which they have been assigned.
