As mentioned earlier in this chapter the Denials support file is used to deny file access to a password group. One Denials record is entered for each file denied to one group. For example, if you do not wish Guests to have access to the Personnel file you would create one denials record with Personnel as the file and Guests as the group name.
To access the Denials file, press the Denials button. Here's the Denials list view.
Double-click on a record to view it.
Notice there are four main fields in the Denials "detail view". The first is the name of the password group. The second is the name of the application. Both fields have associated popup lists for easy entry. The third field is the "Deny All Access" field. If this field is checked the user will not have any access to the file.
If you allow partial access the fourth field will be enabled. You have the option of setting the privilege to Read Only, Read/ Add Only or Read/Add/Modify but not delete.
Here's a single Denials record. This record denies all Captains access to the Scheduling application.
You may add, delete or edit Denials to meet your needs.
After editing Denials records return to the Command Window. Press the Pause button and log-on as a member of a group that has been denied access to FirePoint applications. Here's how the Command Window appears to a member of the Captains group.
Notice denied applications disappear from the Command Window. Modules, like Occupancies, that have pop-up application lists do not display denied applications.
