PeopleSoft Definition Security


You can restrict developer access to the record definitions, menu definitions, page definitions, and so forth that make up your applications. Just as you use Security to control who can access the PeopleSoft pages in your system, you use Definition Security to control who can access and update PeopleTools definitions


There are two tasks involved with definition security:
          Creating definition groups.
          Linking definition groups to predefined permission lists.

Definition security leverages the permission lists created in PeopleTools Security to restrict access to individual PeopleTools database definitions created using a PeopleTools designer utility, such as PeopleSoft Application Designer or PeopleSoft Tree Manager. Definition types include all of the definitions that appear in the following table. Most definition types are created in PeopleSoft Application Designer.
