DiveTab Security Options

DiveTab projects are different from generic Workbench projects, but DiveTab projects can take advantage of server level access controls.

When you work with a DiveTab project in Workbench, you can make use of the access controls (also known as security controls) that are available to projects. There are controls specifically for DiveTab applications that allow you to restrict areas, as well as use more general controls for cBases to restrict data views. For more details about setting security configuration options and areas, see About Access Control and DiveTab Access Tab.

There are three types of security that you can configure for the contents of a DiveTab project:

Button—Restricts access to an area in the script based on its id.
Data Values—Restricts access to a portion of the data set by hiding values.
Data Columns—Restricts access to a particular column of data.

You can configure these restrictions for users or groups. In addition, you can configure these restrictions with properties that you define. When using properties for access control, the following steps are required, though the order does not matter:

Create the properties
Assign the properties
Use the properties in the Access Control File

NOTE: Properties are defined on the server level. Use of properties in individual projects is optional.
