security group

A setting that determines to which ARCHIBUS information a user has access. Security groups can control the Navigator entries a user can see, as well as the database fields a user can view and edit.

The ARCHIBUS system also uses security groups to control the groups that can review documents of the document library; that is to say, the ARCHIBUS Security Users table validates the Document Review Group field.

To establish security, an administrator completes the ARCHIBUS Security Users table to assign each user to up to 10 security groups.

For example, you can establish that only users in the Finance security group can view and edit the fields in the Employees table holding salary data, and only users in the Finance security group have access to the Analyze Finances process of the Building Operations domain.
