Menu Security

Circulation options can have security at the menu level, submenu level, and/or option level. To assign security, you must first set up user profiles, user groups, and security IDs. Then you can use this option to limit options to one certain security ID.

If a menu, option or item has no security ID associated with it, everyone has access to it. If a menu or option has a security ID, then only those groups associated with that security ID have access to that menu or option. To change security on a menu that is security protected, you must log in with an appropriate user ID (i.e. as a user that has the right security ID for that option). You can then use MENU SECURITY to assign a different security ID.

Note: Do not assign a security ID to a menu option unless the security ID is linked to one or more user groups, and users are assigned to the user groups. If an unlinked security ID is placed on a menu item, no one will be able to access the menu item.

To secure a menu item:

1. In character Circulation, select Menu Security from the Security menu.

2. Select the area of Circulation (such as Setup) for which you want to establish security.

   
3. Press F1 (or Ctrl-X) when the menu you want to establish security for is highlighted. To access submenus and menu options, press Enter as you normally would, and then highlight the submenu or menu option.

4. Enter the appropriate menu security ID and write security ID. Menu security controls whether the menu option can be used at all. Write security affects the Add, Copy, Delete, Default, Enter, and Modify options.

5. Continue applying security to menu options, or press F4 to exit to the Setup menu.
