Operator Signon Security Settings Maintenance

Use Operator Signon Security Settings Maintenance to specify which functions within a security set the operator is allowed to access.  If the operator is authorized to access all functions within a security set you may find it handy to use the Create Operator Security Settings routine.  In addition, if you have several operators with the same authorizations you can quickly set them up by using the Copy Operator Security Setting routine.

• Generally, this is the fifth step in the process of setting up security for the module.  For more information about the security set up tasks, see Security Set Up Procedure.

• For more information about working with data in fields, see the Data Entry Guidelines.
