Note:

Configuring an identity is optional.

For each application, you can define identity parameters based on an attribute value that will be matched to the OnBase login values. This is how the system will find the currently logged in user's object to identify them.

In some instances a more complex approach must be taken using security attributes to create the desired results. Security attributes can be used to evaluate relationships between one or more Association classes to determine security attribute control. In order to use class association levels to determine security rights using security attributes, three main steps are required. First, you must create security attributes. Second, you must configure user identification for applications. Lastly, you must assign security attribute values to specific user groups.

To define an identity:

  1. In the <Name of Application> : Security Attributes dialog box, select the Use Identity option.
  2. Select the Attribute that will contain the value that matches the logged in user's username.
  3. If the identity should consist of associated object(s), select the association class by selecting the Relationship check box and clicking on the ellipsis button next to the Relationship field. Select the appropriate association class. For example, you could have an Employee class that has a Name attribute selected in the Identity Attribute field. Optionally, you could select the appropriate association class that would find the project(s) the employee is assigned to. The identity would then be determined by the project(s) the employee is working on.
  4. Click OK when you have completed the configuration.
