View a Group's Datafile Security

Click on the View Datafile Security button in the Group window. This will open a read only window that shows the different permissions the Group has for datafiles or fields.

The top table controls whether the Group can Create, Delete, View, or Modify a record.

The bottom table controls whether the Group can View or Modify a specific field in a record.

If you see something other than a Yes or No, this is a custom formula for your site. It is called a Depends Routine and it decides whether a Group can create, delete, view or modify depending on specific criteria. For example, a Group can modify a Natural Science record, but not a Human History record. If you see a Depends routine here, you can send a screenshot to support@vernonsystems.com and we can help determine what has been set up.
