Definitions?

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I'm writing some manual for customers, and I can't in simple words write 3 definitons. Those definitions have to be understandable and very simple.

Definitions about:

- what is role

- what is profile

- what is autorization object

I have no idea how to explain to basic users.

Best regards

You could say that...

An Authorization Object is the most basic expression of what a user can do permissions wise on a particular situation.

A Role is a group of authorization objects that combined give your the desired access to certain tasks... Once the Role is created a Profile for this role is generated.

A Profile is group of authorizations generated from a Role, When authorization checks run all user profiles on the User Master Record will be checked to allow or deny access to the task requested.

Thats my 2 cents
