Create Security Definitions

NOTE: This section only applies to custom components and the three delivered custom components: Construct, MC and dspCompose_Data. If using a delivered component, do not alter the delivered security definitions.

Security definitions are the basis for driving data-based security. They employ a security view to return data that is then used to dictate what users are allowed to see on a page.

To enable security for a component of the DSP®, a security definition must be defined.  The security definition defines what data elements are used to limit access to records on a page displayed in the DSP®.

NOTE: The DSP® is shipped with definitions for all of the delivered WebApps.  This section is only needed if defining security for a custom WebApps or for one of the WebApps that are delivered but for which customizations are allowed.

This section includes the following topics:

• Security Definitions Delivered with DSP®
• Create a View
• Register Security Definition
• Register Security Definition to Components (WebApps)
• Security Definition Example
• View a User’s Assigned Security Definitions
