Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Core Business Services

> ## Progress Dynamics security features

> Progress Dynamics is a Repository-based application development and deployment environment that takes advantage of the Progress 4GL’s dynamic user interface, data, and execution invocation elements to provide a methodological approach to rapid application development, deployment, and maintenance. Dynamics stores all of the definitions for these dynamic application elements in an integrated Repository built using the OpenEdge RDBMS.

> Progress Dynamics also supports a rich set of security options to authenticate user and group access to many of the application elements that it defines. Configuration of these options results in a set of security structures stored in the Repository along with the application element definitions that these structures secure. Many of the security features in Dynamics facilitate the creation and maintenance of these security structures in the Repository.

> Working with the Progress Dynamics security features includes:

> - Setting basic security options

> - Defining Progress Dynamics application security options

> - Using the Progress Dynamics security managers

> - Understanding the Repository security structures

> For basic information on Progress Dynamics, see OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Getting Started .
