Complex Security

Diagram 1: High Level Security Flow

User Security Level

In this example, the User Security Level can be broken down as follows:

• General Staff: (e.g. Reservation Consultants, Accounts Clerks). All General Staff will have a Security Level of 0. Only Applications and processes that are set to allow all access—0 will allow these Users to access them. Any Applications or processes that have a security level higher than 0 will not show on these users menus (in the case of applications) or will be greyed out (in the case of processes).
• Supervisors: (e.g. Reservations Supervisors). All Supervisors will have a security level of 50. Therefore they will be able to access all applications and processes that are set to 0 and also higher—but NO higher than level 50.
• Management: (e.g. Sales Managers, Accounts Managers). All Managers will have a Security Level of 80. They will be able to access the same applications and processes that the General Staff and Supervisors can access—and also ones that have a security level up to 80.
• Maintenance: (e.g. Tourplan Support, System Administrator). These Users will have a security level of 99 which will allow them access to the entire system.

Group Security Level

In this example, there is only one Group Security Level—Bookings: All Users that are in the Bookings Department will be added to this group.

• Accounts: All Users that are in the Accounts Department will be added to this group.

• Maintenance: Only Tourplan Support and the System Administrators should have access to this level.

Application Security Level

The example below shows how it is possible via the different groups, to assign different levels of access to programs for Users—even if they have the same Security Levels set up under the User Security levels.

In the Application Security example in Screen Shot 185: High Level Security–Application Security–Bookings Group Screen Shot 185: High Level Security–Application Security–Bookings Group, only Booking Staff are able to raise an invoice from within a Fastbooking. The accounts staff do not access unless it is a Manager who has special permission. Therefore, for the Bookings Group: all Users with Security Level 0 are able to insert an Invoice via this application.

Screen Shot 186: High Level Security–Application Security–Accounts Group

As Screen Shot 186: High Level Security–Application Security–Accounts Group shows, for the User Group Accounts, the Insert Action is set to Security Level 99 so that no Accounts staff can enter an Invoice via the Fastbooking> Accounts Summary> Invoice application unless they are part of the Management team, have a security level of 80 and know the Password.

Screen Shot 187: High Level Security–Application Security–Maintenance Group

For the User group Maintenance, only Users with Security level 99 can Insert, Change or Delete an Invoice as Screen Shot 187: High Level Security–Application Security–Maintenance Group shows.
