Security Approaches

CA‑PanAPT lets you use the following security approaches:

• Allow the user to be the Owner of a Move Request. As an Owner the user is given authority to perform certain functions for that Move Request.
• Give approval authority to an individual user so that he or she can grant Approvals for any or all of the 20 Approval categories.
• Make the user a member of a group and give this group the authority to perform certain functions. For example, a site can set up one group for System Programmers, one for Production Control, and one for Project Leaders. Each user can be assigned to up to five groups or no groups at all.
• Designate the user as an administrator of a group. As administrator, the user is given authority to perform certain functions.
• Restrict a user from using any CA‑PanAPT functions.
• Authorize a user to perform default CA‑PanAPT functions.
• Give the user the Operations attribute. The user is then able to perform the activities authorized to Operations.
• Designate the user as a CA‑PanAPT System Administrator. The user is then able to perform all CA‑PanAPT activities.
• Supersede CA‑PanAPT internal security through the use of a user-written Security Exit Program. To identify the activities covered by this exit, see "User Exits" appendix in the CA‑PanAPT Administrator Guide.
