gsm_security_structure table — gsmss

This table lists the parts of an application to which security restrictions apply. Currently access tokens, fields, and ranges are supported. The owning_obj refers to either a gsm_token record, a gsm_field record, or a gsm_range record.

Table 11–9 lists the table’s FLA, fields, and foreign keys.

Table 11–9: gsm_security_structure table information 

Table FLA	Fields (data type)	Foreign keys
gsmss	security_structure_obj (Decimal) owning_entity_mnemonic (Character) owning_obj (Decimal) product_module_obj (Decimal) object_obj (Decimal) instance_attribute_obj (Decimal) disabled (Logical)	instance_attribute_obj product_module_obj

Table 11–10 gives details of the table’s indexes.

Table 11–10: gsm_security_structure index information 

Index name	Elements	Type
XPKgsm_security_structure	security_structure_obj	Primary Unique
XAK1gsm_security_structure	owning_entity_mnemonic owning_obj product_module_obj object_obj instance_attribute_obj	Unique
XAK2gsm_security_structure	product_module_obj object_obj instance_attribute_obj owning_entity_mnemonic owning_obj	Unique

Because the fields are identical, one table is used rather than a usage table for each type of security allocation. If another type is introduced, no major rewrites are required because this table can automatically support the new type.

A security restriction can be assigned globally, in which case the product module, object, and instance attribute are 0. Alternately, the restriction can be allocated to a product module, a specific program object, or an instance attribute for a program. Because users are allocated the entries in this table, a restriction must be assigned to this table to be active.
