About application security

The following diagram provides an overview of how Poetic controls each user’s access to Poetic functionality:

The main elements of Poetic security are:

Security role	Each Poetic user is assigned a security role. The available roles are based on the company type for the company the user belongs to. See Adding and editing security roles and Adding and editing company types.
Security level	Each security role belongs to a security level. The security level is used to group the security roles and to assign default values for security settings.
Security setting	Each security setting controls access to a single piece of Poetic functionality. For each security role, the security setting is turned on or off. See Assigning security settings to security roles.
Report setting	For Poetic Java reports, each column can be turned on or off for each security role. See Configuring Poetic Java reports.
