Re: BPCS Security

Bergquist did facility security in 8.2 for our international
implementation. In our case we completely exclude some users from any
facility not their own. Feel free to contact me offline for details.

We are on ERP Lx 8.3.2 and are increasingly rolling it out across the
globe, leading to issues of security and access that we haven't
previously had to consider much.

How do we set up BPCS security so that a user can have all functionality
in one Facility (Enquiry & Maintenance) and have Enquiry access to
another Facility, but not be allowed to maintain data for that facility?

Eg. We have a user with full access to our US facility who wants to be
able to enquire on the UK facility data (MRP, BOMs, costs etc) but not
be able to change UK data.

Other US users may need to enquire on our Argentina facility data......
and so on, each potentially with differing access requirements

I know there are Security Groups where functionality can be specified at
a program level, but we haven't used them much to date and I'm not sure
if they are the answer or would get over-complicated.

Is there a manual describing how to solve such issues or has anyone
experience of setting BPCS up to achieve this.

Thanks in advance.
