Enable Application Security

Enable application security if you need to restrict access when a specific application starts. You can assign each application one or more security access roles if security is enabled and more than one level of user is permitted to access the application.

Note: To properly enable security, you must enable the check box in the Applications-Functions Editor and define at least one level of security access.

For more information about enabling AdminWeb and ReportWeb application security, see Chapter 27, "System Administration.".

WARNING! There is one exception to defining application security. You cannot enable security for a Batch Client application. This application is the basis for all Batch and Batch Scheduler security. Security may be configured for any or all of the functions defined for a Batch Client, but not for the application itself. If security is defined for the Batch Client application, none of its functions can pass a security request.

To enable and assign application security roles

1. Open the Applications-Function Editor dialog box. This example shows only the Applications area.

   

2. Select an application.

3. Select the Security Enabled check box.

4. Click Access. All security roles that have been defined using the Security Roles Editor are shown in the Assign Security Roles dialog box.

5. Select one or more security roles and click OK.

6. Click Change.
