Re: Access in CAS security

Bryan,

When using Personalized menus it means there are two steps in setting up 
security.  First you have to go through and grant them access to the task 
(Access = Yes), and then you have to grant them the authority to use that task 
(in many areas there are sub tasks under an accessed area) (Authorized = Yes).  
Once you have granted them the access and authority, then you must assign the 
menu option to their user id or assign it to a group.  Using personalized menus 
takes twice the maintenance time and requires someone to monitor and tweek as 
people come and go.  

Hope this helps.
