Applications TabApplications TabYou use the Applications tab in the Security Groups (SP) application to specify the applications and options a group can access.
The Applications tab has two table windows:
Applications - to specify which applications a group can access.
Options - to specify which options in an application a group can access. When you select an application in the top table window, the system displays the options for that application in the bottom table window.
The Applications table window lists all the applications in the system, and features buttons to grant or revoke levels of security for all of the listed applications. There are four levels of application security:
Read - users can only view records. This is the minimal access required for users to access an application.
Insert - users can insert new records. If you select the Insert option, you should also enable the Save option (if users can insert new records, then they should be able to save them, as well).
Save - users can save changes to records. You might want some users to be able to save changes to existing records (Change Status, for example), but not insert new records. To do this, select the Read and Save options.
Delete - users can delete records. This does not mean that users can automatically delete any record they want; the system has a range of internal checks to prevent deletion of records containing information required by other records. If you select the Delete option, you must also select the Save option.
All Above - grants or revokes Read, Insert, Save, and Delete permissions for all listed applications.
The options table window displays the options specific to the application selected in the Applications table window. These options primarily include Select Action menu items.
You grant access to an option by selecting the associated check box. Click Grant Listed Options for This Application if you want to select all the check boxes for the entire set of options in the result set.
Note: If a check box is not editable for an application, its function is not applicable.
