The Access Group has 3 distinct mechanisms for conveying access rights:
- RuleSet or Application – grants access to individual RuleSets and/or RuleSets contained in an Application
- Work Pools – grants access to Work tasks contained within a specific Class Group
- Roles – define rights to both instances and rules at a class level
The Role itself is just a predefined tag (Rule-Access-Role-Name). Alone, it does not convey or deny access. The Role to Object records ((Rule-Access-Role-Obj) contain linkages between a Role and a specific class. To make managing these linkages simpler, PRPC 5.x has a Security Wizard than can be accessed by selecting Tools->Security->Role Names and double-clicking a particular role to manage.
- Open, Modify, Delete, and Browse on Instances of a class and
- Open, Modify, Delete, and Execute on Rules contained by a class.
The numeric values assigned are 0-5 and correspond to the "Production Level" setting from the System record.
The production level values can be:To convey access, the number shown in the Role to Obj linkage must be greater than or equal to (>=) the current system's Production Level. Incidentally, the Production Level can be found on the clipboard at pxProcess.pxAdminSystem.pyProductionLevel.
