A Database Administrator (DBA) creates user roles for use in Callista. A user role specifies the full range of functionality potentially available to users granted that role. The Security Administrator can define the access of a user role by individually specifying in this form the Menus, Forms, Web Resources, Jobs, Reports, Self Serve Applications and SSF Menus that the role can access. Note: Web Page Grants should not be selected in post-15.0 Callista Release environments. The corresponding Web Resource Grant records should be selected instead. Selecting the Reconcile Object Grants button initiates a process that checks that the role has the necessary Object Grants for all of its Form, Job and SSF Application Grants. Any Object Grants that are missing are added, while any that are no longer required are deleted. Object Grant reconciliation can also be performed as an 'after hours' batch job using SECJ0070. Note: The Grant Menu Structure process grants the user role a menu structure containing all of the sub-menus, forms, jobs and reports under the selected menu. Menu structures are maintained in SECF0061. Further details are provided in the Security techncial information in the Callista Product Centre (wiki.callista.com.au/display/CPC). Security Role Block This block displays information identifying the Security Role to which menu and form access is granted via this form. This block can be queried to locate the Security Role to which menus, forms and or jobs are to be granted. The granting of a menu and sub-menus alone will not give access to the items (forms and jobs) in those menus. Security Roles must also be granted access to the relevant forms/jobs. Even then, access may be limited if the Security Roles do not have the necessary data level access. Each time form, job, web resource or SSF application grants for a Security Role are updated, as the final operation, either the Reconcile Object Grants button should be selected or job SECJ0070 should be run to perform the reconciliation. This ensures that the role has the correct object grants allocated to it. The process automatically adds any missing Object Grants and deletes any that are no longer required. Reconciliation of Object Grants provides further information on the subject. Security Role Menu Grant Block This block is used to record and display System menus granted to the displayed Security Role(s). Menus may be granted individually, or whole menu structures, including sub menus, forms and jobs may be granted in a single operation using the Grant Menu Structure function.
General This form allows menus, forms, jobs, web resources and SSF Applications, including the required database object privileges, to be assigned to a Role. When users are granted the Role, they inherit access to the menus, forms, web pages and jobs defined for the Role. This form is accessed from the main menu. |

Rules/Notes: Web Page Grants Web Resource Grants WS Method Grants Advanced
Functions For example, if a NAME-UPD Advanced Function is granted to a Security Role, users with that role will not be able to update a Person's name in any SMS form. The only exception to this restriction will be cases where the creator of a Person record attempts to change the Person Name on the same day that the record was created. Some System Advanced Functions are VET specific and some are HE specific. Cross-sector installations of Callista will have all Advanced Functions available for selection in this form. Note that granting the VENUE_OVRD Advanced Function to a user role, will allow a user with that role to allocate further students to Activity Offerings in Venues, when the designated maximum number of students for that venue has been reached. This Advanced Function should only be granted to roles whose users that will appreciate the Occupational Health and Safety implications of such an action. Allocation of students to Activity Offerings can be performed in ENRF4200. A user whose role has been granted the VENUE_OVRD Advanced Function is able to select the Exceed Real Limit check box in this form. Granting the CLASH-OVRD Advanced Function to a Security Role will allow a user with that Security Role to deselect the No Clashes Allowed checkbox in ENRJ4700 and allow them to select the Clashes Override checkbox in ENRF4200 and ENRF4250. Applying the VIEW-COMC Advanced Security Function to a Security Role is equivalent to selecting the 'View Only all Communication Categories' check box in SECF0073. It automatically:
The Grant Menu Structure button copies data ready for SECJ0070. Once copied the following message is shown: 'Grants successfully copied. Please requery detail to see the changes. Database Object Grants should be reconciled via the Reconcile Object Grants button.' The Note Type Restrictions button is only available to users who have security access to SECF0041. The Appeal Type Restrictions button is only available to users who have security access to the Maintain Security Appeal Type Restriction (SECF0091) form. The Encumbrance Type Restrictions button is only available to users who have security access to the Maintain Security Role Encumbrance Type Restrictions form (SECF0093). SECF0093 is used to control the type and level of access a role has in managing encumbrance processes. For more information, see SECF0093. The Proposal Type Restrictions button is only available to users who have security access to the Maintain Proposal Type Restrictions form (SECF0095). SECF0095 is used to control the type of proposal that a user with a particular security role can create. |
