Examples of Permissions
 

Role based Access Control:

Example: Mr. Smith belongs to the sales team. He can log on to the application and access the purchase order window. But as a salesperson, he cannot enter the Human Resources windows.

Visual Guard will first verify the user's login. Then, it will disable some menu options to restrict access to authorized windows only.

Secure the data:

You can define which user can modify or view any particular data.
Example: Salaries are confidential. Only the director can modify them, some managers can review them and most of employees won’t see them.
Visual Guard will hide this field or disable modifications depending on the user's permissions.

For security or confidentiality reasons, you may also want to filter data that users can see and modify.
Example: A salesperson in charge of the USA can only access the deals made with American customers whereas the person in charge of Canada will access Canadian deals.

Visual Guard will dynamically filter the deals the user can see or modify.

Adapt the graphical interface to the User Profile:

You may need to change the application’s GUI to reflect the user's permissions.
Example: The customer window contains a button called “new” to create a new customer.

Visual Guard can hide or disable this button if the user is not allowed to create customers.

This feature is available for any item of the user interface (button, tab, menu, fields, etc…).

Parameter business logic:

Business rules may vary from one user to another.
Example: Employees can create purchase orders up to $500 and managers up to $10,000.

Visual Guard will apply this limitation according to the value defined for the user profile.
