Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Basic Development

Container security

Container security allows you to apply security to your visual application containers. You do not have to set security both on a container and the items that launch it. If you set security for a container, Progress Dynamics automatically disables any menu items launching that container.

Security allocations of this type have the following effects:

Revoke model — Prevents a user or a group from accessing a container. By default, Progress Dynamics allows all users to see all containers.
Grant model — Allows a user or group to see a container. By default, Progress Dynamics prevents all users from seeing containers.

The security system is aware of all containers. Therefore you do not have to create a structure in the Security Control tool to represent them.
