We are going to implement lawson security. Can anyone share your experience about locating user's process levels? Do you customize an attribute to store user's process levels, or use structures to define the hierarchical porcess levels, or any methods to locate user's process levels? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You can probably try it one of a couple of ways. On the user setup, you could use an existing field and populate the Process level, like the Primary Group field, or you can create your own custom field. The other way you could handle it would be to create a structure in the RM. I haven't used that feature because it looks like you would have to manually maintain the structure. If you could figure out some way of designing your structure so that it doesn't change, that would probably work best.

Thanks, Derek. Does your company have different codes for different systems? For example, one of the HR system's process level is 'TCWSP' but it is called '242' in AP and PO systems, while in GL, it represents 245000-245999. So, some users might have a lot of process levels define in the attribute. I just wonder if this is normal situation. Thanks for the response!

Not really. We have kept our process levels named the same across the modules. We even keep our department names the same. So in GL department 40936 is IT and in HR 40936 is also IT. This might work, assign your users a process level from one of your modules like GL. Then make a structure that could be used to lookup the equivalent process level for the other modules. I haven't done anything like this, but maybe someone else has.

Thanks for your suggestion, Derek. That sounds a good idea to create a structure to lookup the equivlent process levels. But the GL's process level is a range, like 242000-242999 is a process level. How can we define a range in a structure? Or can we just retrieve the first 3 digital, like 242, since it can represent the process level from 242000 to 242999? But I don't know if lawson security have this kind of syntax to truncate the rest of digitals....
I'm also thinking which is a better design?
(1) Design structures to look up user's process levels.
(2) Store all user's process levels in an attribute.
(3) Create different attributes for each module to store each moudle's process level.
Thanks for your input again!!

You should be able to do the first 3 digits, because there is a substring function you can use in the security tool. Post back how your testing goes, because I am curious what you come up with.
