Task authorization by company

[Dan Thomas <DThomas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have a need for users to be authorized only in certain companies for some
tasks like inventory maintenance and inventory adjustments.  JBA allows
authorization by user/task and user/company/module.  The tasks we want
restricted in certain companies are part of module for which these same
users need to be able to do other tasks for all tasks.  Our solution was to
create a new module ('PA' for physical adjustments) and make copies of those
tasks into this new module.  We'll then authorize users to module 'PA' only
for those companies where is needed.  We de-authorize all users for the
original tasks.  By the way, we use JBA System 21 Explorer.  I would love to
hear from anyone that has had a better solution to this requirement: To
allow a given user to be authorized to physical inventory adjustments in
Company A and not in Company B, while being able to do other inventory
functions (reports and inquiries) in both companies.
