Link or Unlink the Security Area to or from the Secured Objects

Linking a secured object to a security area lets only the users belonging to that area have access to the object. You can link a secured object to one or more suitable areas. In the case of multiple areas, the object will be accessible to the users linked to all the security areas to which the object belongs.

Note: When you link or unlink an object to or from a group, the object automatically inherits the group area permissions regardless of whether the area permissions for the object are defined. If you want to retain the object level area permissions, you must review and modify the area permissions after linking or unlinking the object.

   The Security Area Linkages dialog appears, listing the linkage status of the selected objects.

4. Select the security areas and click Link or Unlink.

   The selected secured objects are linked or unlinked from the security areas.
