I'm not sure I's posting this problem in the right location. I wrote rules to restrict users by process levels, which works, but it doesn't allow for Drill Around access. For example, I can restrict a user to process level using the rule which looks at ProcessLevelControl and AccountingUnitControl in RMID, but no information is displayed when the users tries to use Drill Around. There should be a way to make this work. Does anyone have any experience with process level restriction and access to Drill Around? Any advice is very much appreciated? Thank you

Dee, when you say " I wrote rules to restrict users by process levels, which works ", are you referring to form/token rules? For update, add, inquire, etc.? If so, did you also create rules that govern table access? That is used for securing drillaround.
Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

Thank you for your response! Because the user needs to be restricted to specific process levels, for example, process level 50, on AP and GL forms, I wrote the rules below. I've used inquiry/view only security classes, and I've also created a custom security class that grants ALL_INQUIRIES access to, for example, GL90.1. I use the file access security classes, APFAFileAccess, GLFAFileAccess, etc. delivered with the Accelerator set up that a consultant brought before go live. The restriction works - the user can only see and choose from process level 50 and process level 50 accounting units, which are identified in the AccountingUnitControl and ProcessLevelControl fields in the user's RMID. However, when the user tries to Drill Around, no records are returned. When the process level restriction security classes are removed, Drill Around returns records as it is supposed to. Thank you!

Rule written on PROCLEVEL element group – Security class = PRCLVLAUC

if((user.attributeContains('AccountingUnitControl',trim(PROCESS_LEVEL))||(PROCESS_LEVEL=='LP')))
'ALL_INQUIRES,'
else
'NO_ACCESS,'
