What is lookup security?

Modified on Tue, 10 Dec at 3:10 PM

Lookup Security Definition is made up of one or more Lookup tables to which you can restrict access. This is so that the user cannot change data within that table. Once you have created a Lookup definition, you can apply it to a Security Profile.
 

  Important:

You must have System Administration permission in order to access this functionality. 

 

  Knowledge

I have created a No Equal Opportunity Data definition that restricts the Disability, Marital Status, Nationalities, Religion, and Sexual Orientation Lookup tables. Therefore the user who is assigned this definition will not be able to change or add any disabilities, nationalities or marital statuses etc in those Lookup tables.
