Selective Access Security NONE

eije.wiersema

What is the benefit of the column NONE in selective Access? Does somebody really use it? I would prefer that you always need to upload the new Read and Write in full and that the NONE is not needed anymore. The options that you now have to upload security is: 1) first load the user with no access in order to clear all security and then load the new Read/ write combinations 2) Remember what first was loaded on READ and WRITE and then import those value in the NONE column before you can apply the new security. Who has a use case where the NONE is really beneficial. I never have build an application where I have an incremental update of security.

Hi, 

 

Indeed, in a process of the security update, putting the "No access" on a user is a very easy way to clear all the security setup of a user but also deletes all the cell data that are related to the modules where "Users" list was used in "Apply to". So, for example, all the saved values of the filters per users are lost. 

 

Another way to reset the security for a user is to create an action and use the "NONE" option for every list and map the "Total" element of every list on NONE. 

 

This is a more elaborate way to reset the security list by list using an action,  but has the advantage that preserves the data in the modules where "Users" list was used.
