Defining Access Points

Access points are used to restrict the ability of users to view and/or edit specific fields within a screen. When you define an access point and associate it with one or more fields within a screen, only security groups that are granted access to that access point will be able to view and/or edit those fields.

Certain batch and credit card access point permissions are initially delivered, but you can modify these permissions. The permissions initially delivered with Personify360 are described in Access Point Permissions.

The access point must first be set up in the Access Point Maintenance screen. Then, using the Application Designer, the fields (or other controls) must be linked to the access point.

To define access points:

1.    From the Security Central screen, click Maintain Access Points.

2.    Click Create New Access Point.
The Access Point Maintenance screen displays, as shown below.

3.    Enter the Access-point Code.

4.    Enter the Access-point Description.

5.    If necessary, check the Is Active? checkbox.

6.    In the Assigned Security Groups section, a list of security groups displays. Click the + next to the appropriate security group to expand it. Double-click the security group you want to have access to the access point.
The red X changes to a green checkmark.

7.    Click Save.

8.    After you have created an access point, you can link that access point to a screen.
