What is record security?

Modified on Tue, 10 Dec at 2:33 PM

A Record Security Definition is made up of one of more Record Filter Definitions, which automatically filter access to records in the Navigator when a user is logged in. Once the Record Security Definition is created, you can apply it to one or more Security Profiles, which can be assigned to a user. For information about the procedures, see record security tasks.

Important:

You must have System Administration permission in order to access this functionality. Go to Cintra iQ: System Administration Manage Security Define Security Profiles

Before you begin...

Ask yourself what security filter, if any, you wish to apply to each set of records throughout the system. The record sets refer to the records that are attached to the folders in the Folders pane, located in the Cintra iQ workspace.

Record Filter Definitions

Within Record Filter Definition, you can create a Record Filter that restricts access to particular records in the Navigator, so that when a user logs in, they only have access to certain records.

Knowledge

I want to use a Record Filter Definition to restrict the Training manager's access to any of the Director's employment records so that the records cannot be viewed by them.

About the Record Filter Definition window

Record Filter Definitions are based on the concept of Record Filters whereby Cintra iQ allows you to create a filter that contains criteria that, once applied, tells the system to display specific records in the Navigator.

Use this window to create a record filter that restricts access to specific records.

Go to Cintra iQ: System Administration> Record Security> Record Filter Definition

Record Filter Selection Definition

Within Record Filter Selection Definition, you can select one or more Record Filters to which you can include or exclude records, so that when you create a Record Security definition, you can automatically restrict access to specific records in the Navigator when the user logs in.

About the Create Record Filter Selection Definition window

Name	Description
Title	Enter the title of the Record Filter Selection Definition.
Record Filters pane	This pane contains the definitions that were created in Record Filters Definitions. They contain the criteria for record access.
Include records belonging to ALL of: pane	This pane includes any record which fulfils the criteria of the record access filter(s) you have set. e.g. To see those employees who are already starters since Jan 2015, add the filter Starters since Jan 2015 here. Note: This pane gives you the flexibility to attach multiple filters to an already added filter, so that the initial filter's record set can be reduced to an even smaller subset.
Exclude records belonging to ANY of: pane	This pane excludes any record which doesn't fulfil the criteria of the Record Filter Definition you have set. e.g. To see all employees but those who are starters since Jan 2015, add the filter Starters since jan 2015 here.

Record Security Definitions

After applying Record Filters to a variety of Data Files (Folders), you can combine the different Record Filter Definitions into a single security definition. This then can be applied to one or more Security Profiles.

Knowledge

I have applied different record access definitions to the record sets of Employment Records, and Pay Spines. Now I want to collect together all those different filters that were applied or included or excluded on the different types of records.
