Should modeling be used to set up security for multiple users?
Environment
Release: 3.4
Resolution
If you are planning on having a number of users that will need the same levels of security, it is best to use modeling. If there is a change in the level of security that is needed for a group of users, you will only have to change any user associated with the MODEL ID.
For example:
You can define a MODEL ID called ADMIN. This id will have full access to define, delete, and edit any catalog. You can have another MODEL ID called PROG. This group can edit but not delete or define. Finally another ID called OPER; this group may only be allowed to browse.
Sample MODEL ID definition for ADMIN - full access.
