You can implement security controls, such as setting passwords
and password hints for users, and creating security profiles.
Passwords for users
For security purposes, users must define a password before
logging in.
Password hints for users
Password hints help users remember the passwords that they
created and they require users to confirm their identity before an
administrator resets passwords. Password hints also help users when
they reset passwords.
Security authorizations for users
You can define for users the security authorizations to
applications, tabs, actions, and fields. After you create security
groups and define their security authorizations, you create user records
and assign each user to one or more security groups.
Security profiles for users
You can specify the security profile for a user. You can
assign the user to groups and set other security attributes. These
attributes include default insert sites, storeroom sites, and default
storerooms.
Database access for users
By default, users do not have authorization to access the
database. However, in some instances, users need access to the database.
For example, a user might need database authorization to view tables
and columns to create reports.
Default insert sites for users
In the Users application, you assign users to a default
insert site to insert records. The records that users view pertain
only to the default insert site. Without a default insert site, some
applications cannot function. For example, without a default insert
site, users cannot add purchase orders in a site-level application.
