Hello,

I have a number of customers who will make great use of the "department restrictions" feature of the GL. I have been testing the feature at my office before rolling out to these customers the restrictions work well except I do not seem to be able to drill down to the details of the accounts when signed in as a user that has department restrictions. The drill down box opens up, but there is no data in the account. Am I doing something wrong? Also, when setting up a user group it would be nice to be able to choose to allow or disallow the "views" reports when a GridView view has been added to the module. I know this is an optional feature, but I have customers using both the reporter and gridview so it would be nice to allow them access from the ledger.

Thanks,

Ken Aberdeen, CMA

Hi Ken,

I cannot duplicate the scenario where the drill-down is not accessible for users with department restrictions. I was able to get all the way to the posted details. Perhaps more information is needed with how everything is set up.

As for GridView custom views on the Inquiries menu, you already can limit views to a particular security group. As you know, GV workspaces saved in a \softrak\alwin\views directory will be accessible from the Adagio Ledger Inquiries menu. However, you can also create a sub-directory under the Views menu - with the directory name the same as the Security Group code - and only users belonging to that group can see these GV workspaces. For example, if you have users belonging to a sercurity group 'ADMIN', then create a directory \softrak\alwin\views\admin and save a GV view and workspace file there. Only those 'ADMIN' users can see this workspace.

The same security features are available if you use customized Crystal Reports from the Reports menu - create a \softrak\alwin\customrp\admin directory.
