This section describes the procedure for creating a Security Profile. Security Profiles determine the Menu Options that the user can see. The main menu structure is defined once by the System Administrator and the Security Profiles are used to determine what the user can see on the system menu. All Security Profiles initially have a Logon menu defined. Any further Menu Options and submenus must be enabled or disabled to control what appears or hidden.

For further information about the Menu Definition Workflow, see the Security and Menu Definition Workflow topic (Topic ID 810111) in Aurora's Full Help System

To create a Security Profile, follow these steps:

  1. Click New Task Selection Icon icon. The Menu screen appears.

  2. Select the Security option.

  3. Select the Maintain Security Profiles option.

  4. The Maintain Security Profiles window appears.

  5. Enter the name of the Security Profile in the Security Profile drop-down list.

  6. Enter a descriptive name for the Security Profile in the field adjacent to the Security Profile drop-down list

  7. Select the logon menu from the Logon Menu drop-down list. Every Security Profile must have an initial Logon menu defined and the options enabled. Any further Menu Options and submenus must be enabled or disabled to control what appears or hidden.

  8. Select an Access Profile from the Access Profile drop-down list, if required. An Access Profile determines the times of day, days, and dates that the Operators are allowed to access the system. They can be optionally assigned to a Security Profile, which in turn is linked to an Operator Group. Groups are assigned to Operators and therefore their access to the system can be restricted.

  9. Configure the menu access for the Security Profile by selecting the check boxes beneath the E column for the different Menu.

 Note: Remember to enable the Menu Options otherwise they are not displayed when the Operator logs on with the Operator Group associated with the Security Profile.
