Enable Function Security

You can define function security if you need to restrict access to performing a specific function. You can assign one or more Done By and Checked By security roles to each function if function security is enabled and more than one level of user is permitted to perform or verify the function.

For example, in the Recipe Editor, you could assign the Assign States function Done By to the Operator role and Checked By to the Supervisor role.

Note: Security is not enabled unless you have selected the appropriate check box and have defined one or more Done By security roles. Also, Checked By security is not enabled unless you have also defined Done By security. If you remove the Done By security roles and assign Checked By security roles, an error message notifies you that Done By levels cannot be removed. You can enable security for functions even if security is not enabled for the parent application.
