Data User Access Restrictions can be implemented using two primary methods: Data Access Sets and Security Rules.
Data Access Sets are primarily employed to secure data.
They allow for the limitation of a user’s access to specific data.
By manually creating a Data Access Set, you can grant users either read-only or read-and-write access to particular data.
Users can gain full or partial data access by utilizing Balancing Segment value security within the ledger.
Non-Balancing Segment Value Security within the ledger enforces function-based access restrictions for specific users.
To configure Data Access Sets, follow these steps:
Step 1: Access Setup and Maintenance from the profile icon.
Step 2: Search for “Data Access Set.”

Step 3: Choose “Manage Data Access Sets.”

Step 4: Select an existing data access set or create a customized one by clicking the ADD icon.

Step 5: Provide the required details.
Step 6: Specify whether you want the user to have access to all values or a specific value for a particular dataset.
Step 7: Choose the desired privilege for the user (Read-Only or Read and Write).
Step 8: Click “Save.”


For managing Data Access Set Data Access for Users:

Step 1: Click “Manage Data Access Set Data Access for Users.”
Step 2: Click the ADD icon.
Step 3: Choose the user’s name and the role you wish to assign.
Step 4: Select “Data Access Set” in the security context.
Step 5: Click “Save.”

To modify Data Access Sets assigned to a user:
- Log in to the user account and navigate to the journals.
