User Guide — Manager Functions
Table 12.6 lists some examples. User IDs and group names are not casesensitive.
Table 12.6
Sample Uses of
User ID and Group
Name
String
Description
*
All users have access.
mary, manager
Only user mary and members of the manager group have access.
!jcd,*
Everyone but user jcd has access.
The inverse of the last example does not work. If you put *,!jcd in the
field, the system grants everyone access first and does not go back to
check on jcd. Someone using the jcd user ID would not be excluded. In
general, avoid using any exclamation point after the very beginning of the
entry.
Assign Access by Menu
Menu security controls each user’s access to programs. Use Menu
Security Maintenance (36.3.10) to define the users or groups that have
access to a menu function.

Maintenance
(36.3.10)
Menu security applies to all domains in the database.
Specifying Menu Numbers
Enter the number identifying the menu where the program you want to
restrict is found. The system combines menu and selection number to
determine the function to be restricted.
For example, Purchase Order Maintenance is selection 7 on menu 5.
To restrict an entire submenu, enter the menu number in Menu and the
submenu in Selection. For example, Menu 7 Selection 1 restricts the
entire Sales Order Menu (7.1).
