  • 1.  How do I give myself authority to modify an entity in IDD?

    Posted Jun 02, 2017 04:06 PM

    I have a MODULE (call it ModuleA) in IDD that has restricted update access as follows:


    USER IS UserA                    
        REGISTERED FOR ALL             
        RESPONSIBLE FOR NONE           
    PUBLIC ACCESS IS ALLOWED FOR DISPLAY

     

    I am UserB. How do I give UserB access to MODIFY this MODULE? UserB has "AUTHORITY FOR UPDATE  IS ( ALL )" in their User definition in IDD.

    In IDD, enter SET OPT REG OVER and hit enter. This turns off entity-occurrence security for the session. You should then be able to update the module.

    Note that you can only do this because you have AUTHORITY FOR UPDATE IS(ALL).

    See the SET OPTIONS statement description and the securing the dictionary section in the DDDL manual for more information.
