Purpose: This document provides a description of how security keys assigned to forms and business objects affect the function of the objects at runtime. For information on how to attach security keys to objects, visit Assigning Security Keys.
Security Keys on Forms and Business Objects
When a security key is attached to a form or a business object, the framework verifies that the current user has the requested permission before permitting access to that permission. Permissions that attach to business objects and fields should not allow read-only access (read-only access can be turned off within the Permission Editor for each permission).
The framework will show an access denied message, specified within the permission itself, when the permission is denied to a requested form or business object action. The framework will not disable or hide menu options that lead to these options, but the menu options can be disabled programmatically by testing the permissions on the CurrentUser object.
