Set Up View Security

In general, setting up View security involves the following steps, which are described later in this chapter:

• Restricting applications (such as payroll) on which you do not want users to be able to carry out any View function.
• Modifying update classes so that users will not be able to change their View security level in self-maintenance.
• Modifying command authorization classes to control the View functions users can use and whether they can grant temporary View authority.

  You can create different command classes for different users. For example, you could allow only helpdesk personnel to use Session Assist, while other users can use Conference and Trainer.

• Adding the TPXVIEW session to the profiles of all users who will access TPXVIEW from their Menu.

  If you want all users at your site to have TPXVIEW on their Menu, you can add the session to a profile common to all users.

• Specifying a View security level for all users. You can do this by specifying it in one or more profiles. You can also specify that certain user's sessions cannot be viewed, tracked, or assisted.

  If you want all users at your site to have the same security level, you can specify the security level in a profile common to all users.

• Specifying a View authority level for each user who is authorized to view, track, or assist another user. You must specify it for each individual user.
