Security Management is provide d at t h e ap p lication level. Users are granted a cce s s to c ontrolled
applications depending on their access privileges.
Using the New Profile window, you can create a security profile to give a user read, create, modify, or
delete privileges to one or more of the controlled applications. You can set up a profile to grant all
privileges to one of the applications and som e privileges to another application. You can create a profile
