For the privilege "Maintain employment information in the Employment tab on the Worker form" there are two resource types of form control.

However, when I open the privilege in the overview, I don't see where these controls are defined.

Could anyone explain? Is this something that must be done in visual studio?

Hi Gaute,

Employment tab page has Needed permission property set to manual. So, it must be added under the Roles.

So, I think it must be done through visual studio.

Thanks,

Girish S.

Are you sure? Why are the "form controls" (picture 1) not showing when I expand the permissions as visualised in picture 2?

Hi Gaute,

Recently, I wrote a blog about form control security: Securing a menu item is not enough - form controls - Dynamicspedia

In this blog, I listed a difference between how you can secure form controls via the user interface and in Visual Studio. In Visual Studio, there is an additional Form controls node which is not visible on the security configuration form. These controls are defined on the form controls node and not on the controls node on the HcmWorker form itself.

Yes, it will be done in the visual studio only. It won't be shown on the Security configuration form if Needed permission is set to manual.

Thanks,

Girish S.

Does this mean that the ability to grant/limit access to certain fields is limited if you do it in the the user interface (system configuration)? Are there certain configurations that MUST be done in visual studio?

Hi Gaute,

You can still manage some form control permissions using the security configuration form.
In case you would need to set a different property for the NeededPermisison property, this change, must be done in Visual Studio. It would be then also better to manage the permissions for these controls via de security objects in Visual Studio.
