Set Security for a Custom WebApp

When a new WebApp is created, the User and PowerUser WebApp groups are automatically generated with default assignments. The user that created the WebApp is added to the PowerUser WebApp group. New pages added to the WebApp are also assigned to the PowerUser group.

Business processes often require new WebApp groups to be registered with more stringent security to the visibility and the control (add, edit, delete) of sensitive data. This section describes how to assign specific access to pages and menus through the Security and Design security group functions, creating a secured business environment. The user creating the secured environment must have access to both Security and Design security groups. Some companies may require two individuals to perform these functions.

NOTE: These steps must be performed by the Security Administrator and Designer.

To set security for a custom WebApp at a high level:

Security Administrator

  1. Create WebApp Group
  2. Assign Users to a WebApp for Custom Application Development/Customizations
  3. Assign Users to WebApp Groups

Designer

  1. Set Page Security for WebApp Groups
  2. Add WebApp Home Page to WebApp Group

Security can also be set at the column level using column encryption.
