RE: EPDM security

["Shrader, Patrick" <pshrader@xxxxxxxx>]

We don't use EPDM here, but one option that you could explore does work for
us in other areas. Create a trigger program on the cost files/fields. This
program would verify to a database the approved cost "managers", and prevent
changes to this field if the user is not in this database. If the user isn't
authorized, simply replace the keyed value with the original. You would want
to use a before change trigger for this to work.

I haven't done this in the client architecture, so I'd TEST and TEST again.
However, for green screen manipulation this approach would work.

The MAPICS security does not give you that level of granularity.  Might want
to rethink the business process.

That is correct ofcourse.
But as far as i can see there is no difference between cost fields for
security. The same user who can maintain current cost shouldn't be abble to
maintain standard cost and that is my problem. If was looking for seperate
security between current and standard cost.
