Application Security Considerations

Financial Management security offers flexibility in securing application elements and tasks. Because security classes are assigned to application elements as they are created, you should design your security system before you set up your applications.

After you design a security system for one application, you can extract the security elements for backup or loading into another application. See Loading Application Security and Extracting Application Security.

Before setting up security in Financial Management, you should consider these questions:

How do you want to group and classify Financial Management tasks and application elements?
How do you want to group users?
What level of access right should be assigned for your users and groups?
What security classes do you want to assign to application elements as they are created?
