BPCS Group Profiles

Dear Mark,

We have a product called By Invitation which allows you to create
Templates and then associate BPCS user profiles with those templates.
You can select to use templates as a starting point to create users and
then modify the individual profiles to add or remove specific
authorities for that individual ... or ...  you can select to totally 
control  the user's BPCS security through templates. In this case, you 
can only maintain authorities at the template level and any changes 
made to the template will also be made to the associated user profiles.

In addition, By Invitation Only allows you to access BPCS security
by each of the secured entities rather than just through the user.
So if you add a new warehouse, you can select the option to work
with warehouse security.  You can then grant authority to the warehouse
to the appropriate users rather than having to access the security for
each user to grant authority to the warehouse.

I would be happy to provide more information about By Invitation Only
and our free demo off line.

Warm Regards,

Thanks for the response Dan.

But as I understand defining the options in the SYS603 screen only
maintains the options 'within' the programs
and not the actual programs themselves (ie ACP100 etc...).

In BPCS 8.2 create a new group profile in program SYS603.  Then in
program SYS600 change the respective users to the new group that you
created.

Is there a way in BPCS (V8.2.01) to define a number of users in a 'user
group'.

For example a range of users (say sales administrators) need to access
certain programs (ORD700, INV300 Etc.......).

So I would like a 'Group profile' called SALESADMIN (where the authority
is defined) and then the users would adopt this authority.

I do not need to define the options within the applications (as per
SYS603), just tha actual 'Program Object Name' as in SYS600.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks in advance
ML
