You can limit access to data and to elements of the user
interface to users that have the right level of access.
Conditional security
You can apply these conditions to security groups, to enforce
security measures, for example, you can limit access to certain elements
of the user interface to users with the right level of access.
Defining signature options for an application
Signature options specify privileges for using applications,
menu options, and toolbar items. You apply signature options to groups
of users to control their access to data, to applications, and to
controls. New applications are automatically assigned a READ signature
option. You can add more signature options in the Application Designer.
Removing a signature option from a UI control
To remove a signature option from a user interface (UI)
control, you must first delete all security groups that are associated
with the signature option.
Applying signature options to show user interface controls
You can grant access to a user interface (UI) control by
associating it with a signature option. Then, users who belong to
the security groups that are associated with this signature option
are granted access to the control. Security groups that are not associated
with the signature option do not have access to the control.
Showing controls to some users
A user can be a member of many security groups. A user
can have read-only access to an application in one group. As a member
of another group the same user can have conditional access to the
application. When the security groups combine, the user can access
the application when the condition is true. When the condition is
false, the user cannot access the application.
