Up to this point, if any of the security conditions are not meet, the user is deemed to be unauthorised, EVEN if they meet any of the other conditions. Having cleared the line and account checks, the system then carries out two more checks on user ID and group. The user only has to pass one or other of these conditions for access to be permitted.

The administrator can enter a list of IDs for users that defines access rights to the specified menu option. The system checks the ID of the user logged on against those defined for the option. If a match is made then the flag indicating whether the Ids specified are valid or invalid for this link item will then determine whether the user can access this item or not.

If the user is authorised for this option, the specified link routine will be carried out, otherwise the test on GROUPS is carried out.
