Re: IFM security

Hi Olga,
We have IFM tasks that we have added to IFM Menus; but we use the
MAPICS(CAS) Security. As far as I know the IFM Security is not opened
for user additions. Maybe somebody else will tell us otherwise? So we
use the MAPICS(CAS) security even though it's on a IFM Menu.

You're part way there: you've already added the Task.

Next add the Task to a Security Area - I suggest creating a new Security
Area.

Where: In Maintain Security Areas for CAS I did a F6=Add, then in the
"Add Area" Call it something like "Teledyne IFM Security Tasks" which
can contain your User Tasks for you news task and future IFM tasks that
you add for User Programs. It also optionally allows the 1st task to be
added to the area, enter the Task ID. Press Enter to add!

Then grant access to those Users that need it.

Finally, yes you do need to lock access to the task. Maintain the task
and set the lock on.

Then when it's time for Data Owner review, you can print access to the
newly added IFM Security area and give it to the IFM Owner for periodic
review.

This works great for us.

Hope that helps!

Subject: [MAPICS-L] IFM security

Hello everyone,
Has anyone succesfully implemented an IFM task that calls a custom user
program? I'm having problems, after adding it into CAS, getting it to
authorize the right users. Should it be a locked task (I noticed all
IFM
tasks are unlocked) and can you help with the meaning of some of the
parameters in IFM? Thanks in advance!

Thank you,
Olga Gunther
