Actions Tab

Use the Actions tab to manage the actions within a role. Actions define access to various features. When you add an action and a user to a role, the user has access to all actions within the role.

Elements are secured in the Application Architect by assigning an action to them, or applying security. Once a secured action is applied, users can only access that element if they are assigned a role that includes the secured action. For example, select Entities/Account/Save as the Applied Security property value for the Save button action on the Account main view. When that button loads at runtime, the display value changes depending on whether the current user has permission to perform the action.

See the "Understanding Secured Actions" topic in the Application Architect Help for more information.
