Security helps you control access to information within Celoxis. Security in Celoxis is determined by 3 simple things
- What role a user plays (Department - Role membership)
- Privileges for that role (Grant, Deny, Unspecified)
- Within what context (Company vs Object level)
In large organizations,departments provide a way to group users and projects. Departments provide a way to segregate, view and control information. In Celoxis, users play specific roles within departments. For example, a user may be 'Staff' of the Accounts department, but also play an 'Accountant' role across the other departments.
Roles are granted privileges to perform actions on certain information. Actions can be "View", "Edit", "Add", "Delete" and so on. Privileges can be either a specific Grant, or a specific Deny or left Unspecified.
Celoxis lets you set security at the Company level or at the Object level. To read more, click here.
