Freeway security can be configured to:

• simplify the user interface where possible,
• hide data where necessary, and
• ensure security of data as needed.

 

There are two levels at which security can be managed

• Menu Access: Menu item access must be 'positively' assigned.  In other words menu items are not available by default - and until such time as a 'User' is specifically given access to a menu item (either directly, or by their membership of a 'Group'  which has been granted access) it will not appear on their screens. This process is managed from the User Manager application.

 

• Component Access: Each form in Freeway consists of a number of buttons, fields, and drop-down options.  These must be 'negatively' denied. In other words components are available by default to all 'Users' and until such time as they are specifically removed from a 'User' (directly or by virtue of their membership of a 'Security Group') they will appear on their screens. This process is managed from within the Stock Manager application by a designated Super-User. There are different ways in which Component Access can be constrained in this way, specifically:
• Enabled: No constraint - view and edit (the default),
• Disabled: View only, no edit,
• Hidden: Neither view nor edit.
