Summary

Siebel Access Control is a strong and secure filter mechanism that ensures that end users only see records that they are supposed to see. The filter is applied by matching a single or multi value field of a business component against the value of one of the visibility-related user attributes (login ID, position, organization, or access group membership).

The main developer tasks of creating visibility views and defining business component view modes have been laid out in this chapter.

In addition, we discussed how access control mechanisms can be used for pick lists, links, and drilldown objects.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to configure specialized behavior of repository object definitions with user properties.
