Nope, my users have no command line, no query access (except for some that
are brought up in a CL that they can run that has record select =*YES), no
*WS. I use MAPICS Menuing, so I only give specific users access to
specific options. Almost no one gets a menu - just specific options on the
menu. It's some minor extra work for the system operator, but worth it, in
my opinion.
However, I have no restrictions on IT associates - I figure you have to
trust someone. As an aside, we don't run payroll for office and management
associates at my facility.

Dale, can your users type *WS which is the same as WRKSPLF? I haven't
checked into this hole lately but the last I heard was this is a hole.
Many
of my users work outside of MAPICS as well as inside and they know how to
use Query. So as an attempt to put some control on things I created group
profiles and granted the authorities I wanted to these group profiles.
Then
I attached users to the appropriate group profiles. Security has not been
a hot button for me. This has been my own device and may not pass the
scrutiny of others.

Bob,
I have a question. I have blocked command line access (Limit Capabilities
= *YES), and the users only get a 4 character command line that they use to
enter a menu option # (for non-MAPICS users) or the 4 character MAPICS menu
option (for MAPICS users - we use MAPICS Menuing). How can they type "
*wrksplf"? I'm concerned about this security issue.....

Jeff, I have two thoughts on your e-mail
1--When you block command line access, users can still get back-door access
by typing *wrksplf. So you are likely to have only the illusion of
security.
In my view this is worse than no security.
2--IFM's security lets you control access by user and function. I realize
that IFM may be overkill in this case, but if security is "driving the bus"
then it is a much better way to go. Also, if someone did get access to IFM
files, they would retire before they got useful data.
