METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AN IMPROVED SECURITY SYSTEM MECHANISM IN A BUSINESS APPLICATIONS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PLATFORM
The present invention provides a solution to the needs described above through an improved method and apparatus for an improved security system mechanism in a business applications management system platform. The security management system partitions a number of business objects into a number of hierarchical domains. A security list is then created and configured to grant a member the right to perform a security operation on the business object located within the hierarchical domain. The security list is created by adding the security operation to the security list, applying the security operation to one of the multiple domains, and adding members to the security list.
