Managing user ID access control

For a computer system's security, role-based access control is an approach to restricting system access to authorized users. ADempiere uses this role-based access control approach for its internal security implementation.

In the subsequent sections, we will introduce you to creating and configuring role-based access control in the ADempiere system.

Introduction to ADempiere roles

The ADempiere role is the place where we can define and configure the access rights for our authorized user ID. These access rights include access to:

• Organization

• Window

• Process

• Form

• Workflow

• Task

• Document Action

In our example, we will create two roles, which have the following behavior:

• The first role will have all access rights

• The second role will have restricted or limited rights

We will practice creating these sample roles and examine the impact of the security configuration.
