Adding Security Classification Codes

Security Classification Code lists (SCC Lists) can be used in conjunction with Data Access Control groups to manage the access levels of records. In addition to the standard lists that are available within iBase, you can create your own lists and values that match the organization that you work for.

About this task

Security Classification Code lists:
  • Determine the values available when users select from an Security Classification Code field type.
  • If Data Access Control groups are used with SQL Server databases, determine the access to records that are assigned a specific security classification code.

SCC lists and SCC fields do not on their own enforce security. To enforce security based on the value in an SCC field, you need to add Data Access Control groups, assign users to those groups and then deny access to the SCC values using the Data Access Control command. See Setting up Data Access Control groups for details

Procedure

  1. Select New > Code List > SCC List
  2. Enter a name for the list.
    This is just the name of the list and should be different from the name of the field that will use the list.
  3. Enter a description.
    Use this to give a useful hint on where the list is used, for example.
  4. For the items in the list:
    • Click to select an item in the Items list. Click again to start editing the text. Do not edit items that are used in data records.
    • Delete a selected item by right-clicking and from the shortcut menu, selecting Delete Item. Do not delete items that are used in data records.
