User Security Identifiers are used by Security Filters
When defining User Security Filters, as well as the User Name and the E-mail Address, you can store multiple 'User Security Identifiers' against the user.- Edit the user and enter the required operator and the first User Security Identifier.
Example: - You can add multiple Security Identifiers here using the icon. A logical OR will be applied between them.
Example: - In the above example, where User Security Identifiers are in use, the dataset will be filtered for the companies 'Service-Co Ltd' OR 'Trade-Code Ltd'
- The different operators allow for more complex pattern matching rather than the standard 'Equals' operator:
Example 1: Ends With 'Ltd' will return all rows in the dataset where the Company name ends with the text 'Ltd'
Example 2: Contains 'Co' will return all rows in the dataset where the Company name contains the text 'Co' - Now select 'User Security Identifiers' as the Security Filter you would like to apply for this user.
- It is possible to also apply Username or E-mail address as the Security Filter for the user, but this is less common as username or E-mail address would need to be present in the dataset.
- It is possible to combine User Security Filters With Group Security Filters to create more complex Security Filters. In this scenario a logical AND will be applied between User and Group Security Filters.
