Security Manager: Read vs Write vs Execute (Read 568 times)

	I recently turned off the Write and Execute features for a specific group with the intention of not allowing them to delete any records in the database (Write). It was set at the Forms level and it worked. However, I would have thought that these two features would not have allowed them to add or update data and actually recognize programming built into the database (Execute). I understand turning Read off will make the layout element invisible but I am confused with the other two. Can someone explain ? Thanks, Louis

	Louis, Security does not do much with the Form itself. We made a special provision to allow these settings to be used to prevent record deletion in an early release to help out a few people who had a particular need. Later, we implemented NotifyForm which allows these settings to be made in Programming. In most cases, the Security Settings work at Element level.

	Is there any future enhancements expected in the new release ? Louis

	Not in 1.1.4. If there is something in particular you are trying to accomplish, it is likely that it can be done in SBasic. What are you specifically trying to do?

	All I was trying to do was prevent a user from deleting records which was accomplished by the above. I was thinking Q&A in terms of the Access Rights that are available in it and thought it would have been similar in Sesame. Thanks, Louis
