Advanced Security

CFMMaker supports two types of Advanced Security:

1. User Levels
   By setting the user access levels, users with different access levels are restricted with different add/copy, list/search/view, delete and edit rights. The access level is controlled by the [UserLevel] field in the security table. The security table is where all user security information (like Login ID, Password, Access Level) is stored.
   
2. User Data
   By setting the user access own data control, users can only access his own personal information. This is controlled by the [User ID] field in the security table.

NOTES:

1. User Levels works at the table level; User Data works at the record level.
2. The two types of security serve different purposes. They can work independently or with each other.

For each user level, you can set the permission for different tables/views.

If you want your users to access his own personal data, you can set up the [User ID] Field:

To identify the records owned by a user, the records must also have a field to store the User ID value. Therefore, all protected tables must have an User ID field, the field names can be different though. To setup User Data for different tables/views, you simply select the "User ID Field" for the tables/views that requires User Data security in the Table Setup page.
