This article provides suggestions for moving toward an object security environment to complement your menu access control.
With the many options that are available to connect to systems, a viable server security scheme for the future cannot rely solely on menu access control. You can enhance menu access control by granting appropriate authority that users must have to objects to run their applications. You then assign users to groups and give the groups appropriate authority. This approach is reasonable and logical. However, if your system has been operational for many years and has many applications, the task of analyzing applications and setting up object authority probably seems overwhelming.
The solution to this problem could be to use your current menus to set up a transition environment while you gradually analyze your applications and objects.
