Vernon CMS Help

You decide which Groups (or specific Users) can access fields or records in a certain datafile.

You can set who can:

Create Records


View Records

View Field Information

Edit Records

Edit Field Information

Delete Records


By default only the Object and the Person datafiles have any Datafile Security. Until Datafile Security is created for a datafile (e.g. the Location datafile) all Users can create, view, edit or delete records in that datafile. To control access to a new datafile, see Secure another Datafile.

You can set a default security for all datafiles (unless they have their own Datafile Security) or enable/disable security control for a datafile with the Data Security Active checkbox.

Inherited Rights

A Group may not appear to have any Datafile Security but may still have access to a datafile. This can happen if a subordinate Group has been allowed access to that datafile. Then the higher Group will inherit the rights of the Group below and can access anything the lower Group can.
