Security Area Linkages Dialog (Secured Objects)

The Security Area Linkages dialog for secured objects lets you link or unlink the objects with the security areas.

This dialog contains the following fields:

Object Name

Displays the name of the selected object. If you have selected multiple objects, this field displays the number of objects selected, for example, Multiple Objects (4).

Security Level

Indicates the origin of the security area linkages given in the List of Security Areas field. This field can have the following values:

Creation User

Indicates that the object was created by a user. In this case, the object linkages are derived from the profile linkages of the creation user.

Global Setting

Indicates that the object was created by the system. The linkages are set to the default security areas specified in the Security Areas dialog.

Group

Indicates that the linkages are derived from the area linkages defined for a security group of which the object is a member.

Object

Indicates that the linkages were individually set for the selected object.

Multiple

Indicates that selected objects have different security levels. This value is possible only if you have selected multiple objects.

Revert

Reverts to the original security level. This button is enabled when the security level is Object.

List of Security Areas

Lists all the security areas and their linkage status in relation to the selected object. The Linkages column can have the following values based on the linkage status of the selected objects in relation to each security area:

Linked

Indicates that the security area is linked to all the selected objects.

Unlinked

Indicates that the security area is not linked to any of the selected objects.

Different

Indicates that the area has a mixed linkage status that is, linked to at least one and unlinked from at least one object. This status is possible only when you select multiple profiles.

Note: An asterisk (*) before the linkage status indicates the status change after the dialog is displayed.

Link

Links the selected security areas to the selected objects. This button is enabled if the linkage status of at least one of the selected security areas is Unlinked or Different.

Unlink

Unlinks the selected security areas from the selected objects. This button is enabled if the linkage status of at least one of the selected security areas is Linked or Different.

Reset

Resets the linkage status to the previously saved value. This button is enabled if the linkage status of at least one of the selected security areas is changed after the dialog is displayed. A changed linkage status has a leading asterisk (*).
