>From Al Macintyre 405 CD on AS/436 V4R3


BPCS V4 security has some holes.  We are a multi-faciilty company in which
some users are authorized to do a wide range of transactions at the facility
at which they are based, and are authorized to LOOK at data in other
facilities but not update anything there.  We have not figured out how to
enforce that, but we can query on the user-id within inventory history ...
running a total only number of transactions by user by facility each month,
to catch any no-nos, after the fact.


Al ... We have a very similar setup ... 4.0.5 (nonCD), with 9 manufacturing
facilities across the country, all operating out of the same environment.  We
use a warehouse name the same as the facility name for our "primary" warehouse
at each facility.  As we can set security at the warehouse level, and because
most "stuff" happens at the warehouse level, we think we are secure against
users at one facility changing data at another facility.  Your comments about
the V4 security makes me wonder ... where do you see the holes?
