Set system-wide access and data-manipulation security for specific functions. Overwrite function-level security by setting different permissions for individual users or groups.
Follow these steps to modify function-level security.
Open the Functions form (BMFUNC).
Query for the function to modify.
Select the Record view tab. Datastream 7i displays the Record view page.
Select one or more of the following attribute options:
Query allowed—Select to allow users to retrieve data from the database.
Insert allowed—Select to allow users to insert new data into the database.
Update allowed—Select to allow users to update data previously retrieved from the database. Users must have query permission to update data.
Delete allowed—Select to allow users to remove data from the database. Users must have query permission to delete data from the database.
Direct select—Select to allow users to use direct selection to access the form.
Background—Select to set the associated report to run in the background as a batch process.
Public—Select to allow all users access to the function.
Public functions should have at least query or insert permission. Functions of ‘O’ forms can have only query permission. Functions of ‘D’ forms should have at least query permission.

These attributes do not necessarily apply to all fields for a specific function. You may still set permissions for data manipulation on an individual or group basis if the function is public. Datastream 7i system functions do not have Direct select selected. Do not select Public for these functions. |
Choose File | Save from the menu bar. Datastream 7i saves the information to the database.
