Role Workflow Security Maintenance

You use this program to view and selectively assign the access levels for workflows defined in SYSPRO Workflow Services for a specific operator role.

These settings are applied to the operators assigned to the role, so you can restrict operator access to workflow operations within workflows. These settings can also be applied from within the SYSPRO Workflow Administration program.

Field Description
Allow Access to All Select this to allow operators in the role access to all workflow operations currently displayed in the listview. This also sets these operations to secured.

This is automatically set to selected when you allow access to the operation.
