Security privileges control user access to modules, applications,
menu options, and data. All security access is based on security groups.
About this task
If implementation uses an application server to authenticate
with a directory, groups might be created in the directory and synchronized
into the system.
Users can specify a default application for their
user profile. If users do not specify a default application and default
applications are specified for security groups, the default application
for security groups displays when users log on to the system. If
users are assigned to multiple security groups where default applications
are specified, the system opens the Start Center. If no default settings
are specified, the system default application displays.
Procedure
- In the Security Groups application, click New
Group.
- Specify a name for the group.
- Optional: Provide a group description and a
name of the start center that displays when a user in the group logs
in. Users also can customize their start centers or choose
a default start center when they belong to groups with different start
centers.
- Optional: If you do not want rights combined,
select the Independent of Other Groups check
box. By default, rights are merged when groups that include
different sites are combined.
- Optional: Specify a default application for
the security group.
- Save the group.
Results
Privileges or restrictions are not defined for the new security
group.
What to do next
You can use functions in the Security Groups application
to define the security for the group. You can add users in the Security
Groups application or the Users application.
