Section Access essentials

Section Access is implemented to protect your data from unauthorized access and to ensure that users can view only authorized data.

Section Access is implemented at the document level in the Qvw script. Since the Section Access script contains information regarding user and access level, it should be written in the hidden script. The hidden script is invoked from the script editor, File | Create Hidden Script.

The hidden script requires a password so that it cannot be accessed by an unauthorized developer.

All access-related information can be stored and loaded from text files, database tables, or inline tables in the same way as any other data is loaded in the script.

It is important to backup your application before implementing Section Access because in case you miss the Section Access user ID and password, you cannot enter your application.

All data other than from inline tables should be loaded in upper case. Inline data is always treated as uppercase.
