Defining access to security classification codes

An SCC field on its own cannot enforce security. You need to add a Data Access Control group for each of the security classifications (in the Security Manager) and assign users to those groups. The group initially allows access to everything in the database; you must use Data Access Control to deny access.

Procedure

  1. Create a Data Access Control group and assign users to this group.
    For more information, see Creating Users and Groups for details.
  2. Select Security > Data Access Control.
    Note: This menu command requires a license for Extended Access Control.
  3. Click Security Classification Codes.
    Note: If the Security Classification Codes tab is not present, you cannot use SC codes, either because you are working in an Access database, or the database is case-controlled.
  4. Select the group that you defined.
  5. For the members of the selected group, turn on each Security Classification code that you want to deny.
  6. You must repeat these steps in each database that is secured by the security file.
    The groups are defined in the security file but the permissions of each group are defined in the database.
