Groups - User ID (Magic xpa 4.x)

The Groups column displays a count of groups to which the user belongs. To define membership in a group, the supervisor zooms from the Groups column into the Groups repository to select a group for the user. A user can belong to more than one group.

A user that belongs to a Group inherits all the rights of that Group.

When the user logs on, Magic xpa compares the User ID and the Password strings of the Logon screen with those of the User ID repository. Even though a given user has a unique User ID and Password at the environment level, each project can apply a different security scheme to that user. Provided there is at least one entry in the User ID repository, whenever a user tries to access data or programs, Magic xpa performs the security check. If the user does not have rights to perform the attempted activity, a message to that effect is displayed on the message line.

The Rights Assignment dialog boxes controls end-user runtime access. For finer control of runtime security within programs, you can use the Rights and User functions. By using these functions, you can create a custom security system that includes controlled access to elements within the task, while also controlling access at the program level.

Pressing F5 will bring up the Groups of repository.
