The third level of security lets you specify a remote workgroup's access to individual data within your workgroup. This is done in exactly the same way that data access is specified for local OfficeTalk users. Remote workgroups may be assigned a security profile in just the same way that local users are assigned a security profile.
Unregistered remote workgroups may be assigned a default security profile from within the Access page of the Remote Workgroup Options dialog box.
Registered remote workgroups may be assigned a security profile on an individual basis. You can do this by selecting Remote Workgroups from the left hand list in Supervisor mode, clicking the right mouse button on the relevant remote workgroup in the right hand list and selecting Edit from the context menu. This will display the Remote Workgroup property sheet. Select the Access page and specify the appropriate security profile.
Once you have specified a security profile for the remote workgroup, all members of the remote workgroup will be granted the same access as defined by the security profile.
OfficeTalk lets you specify the access rights of individual remote users within the remote workgroup to your data. Once a workgroup is registered you may press the Remote User Access button in the Access page of the Remote Workgroup dialog box. This will display the Remote User Access Rights dialog box.
Select the remote user(s) from the Access Of list and then select the required security profile which is to be assigned to each of the selected users. Press OK to save your changes.
