Purpose: This document provides an overview of restriction sets and how they are used within the security system.
Restriction Set Overview
A Restriction Set is used to create a global user access rule that is comprised of days-of-week, time-of-day, workstation, and action. A Restriction Set is used to enable or inhibit a user’s access depending on the action (grant, deny, or read-only).
Ultimately, a restriction set is enforced at the role or user level during permission application. Any restriction set that is assigned to a role will be inherited by its corresponding users. Conversely, additional granularity is provided at the user level if the restrictions imposed at the role level need to be overridden.
