This utility can be used to define which menus and options
should be accessible by operator Role. An operator will not see a
menu or a menu option if his role does not have permission.
If multiple roles are assigned to an operator, and any one of his
roles has access to a menu or option, then the operator does have
access, even if his other roles do not.
This menu permissions utility can be accessed from Security Roles in the window on the View
Menu field for each Role.
This utility cannot be accessed at the same time custom menus are
being updated in Application Menu
Maintenance.
Note: If an operator has role permission to Security Roles on the Security tab, but does not have role permission to access Application Menu on the System tab then this Menu Permissions screen will be display only and cannot be updated.
Restricting Role access to Specific Programs within a
Menu:
A role can be assigned at the Menu level, and then specific options
can be removed from the menu based on that role, so that operators
assigned that role can access the menu but would not see the
options that have been removed.
The option to define general Menu Security is provided using the Export/Import actions in the Security Roles screen as outlined in Import Security Roles.
The Menu Security can also be setup and maintained or fine tuned for a selected Role in the View Menu window, as follows:
