Re: Need help understanding Mapics security

Thanks for sharing this Greg. I'll use this query as a basis to create
a report of who has task type MNT, which I've never done before.

However, I just want to point out that just because a user has an option
doesn't mean she can use it; she needs to be authorized to the task
also.

30 T02.TSTYTS Task type
40 T01.BRSKXX Task ID
50 T01.BRBTXX Sub task ID
60 T02.TSDSTS Task description

10 A T01.BRBUCD Userid
20 A T02.APLATS Application abbreviation

Greg,

Please forgive my ineptness where Mapics is concerned. What I'm
task at doing is producing a file that contains a specific users
authorized menus and all authorized options on that menu(s). Are you
telling me that Cross Apps/Maintenance-Change/Security
Maintenance/Generate Reports capable of doing this (producing a file
rather than a report)? If not, can you give me a little guidance as to
which files I should be looking at?

Thanks.


Warmest Regards,

Richard Reeve

Why not use Cross Apps/Maintenance-Change/Security Maintenance/Generate
Reports Available in XAR4 --- should be in later versions too.

All,


I have been tasked with writing a connector to list the
menus/options that each user within Mapics is authorized to. Can anyone
point me in the right direction as far as which files to use to retrieve
this information?

Thanks so much.


Warmest Regards,

Richard Reeve
