Field Level Security with Scripting

[klewis10367]

Has anybody used Field Level Security with Scripting. I saw it be utilized in a demo and was just trying to get some feedback. Any would be appreciated.

When MBS purchased Omni Field Security from Winthrop Dexterity Consultants, they split the one module into two, separating the scripting component out so that it required separate registration.

Since it's release as an MBS product, the Field Level Security Scripting module has been withdrawn from sale and even though the code is still part of the Advanced Security dictionary for 7.0 and 7.5, it has actually been removed from the version 8.0 code.

The reason for the withdrawal (other than low demand, due to the high cost) was that it poses a security risk. The scripting capability would allow a malicious user to write code that can bypass all the application level security to either retrieve or destroy important data.

If you already have it registered, there are some great demos on the FAQ pages of

http://www.winthropdc.com.

Otherwise, you would need to use VBA or Dexterity to do conditional security or row level security.

NOTE: I do have a row level security demo as a proof of concept that works with the lesson company.

I hope this explains it all.

Where can I find the Row Level demo for the lesson company?

You can email me directly. Please note that this demo has not been released in anyway and that there are no plans to release it.

I was just trying to prove it was possible.
