Designing a security system

In a security system, user membership is defined by user groups. The user groups are associated with specific customers.

Elements of a security system shows the elements used to design a security system. Each defect record in a security system references one or many customer records.

The image illustrates the use of a security context to control which records a user group can view. — Figure 1: Elements of a security system

The security design in Elements of a security system works in this way: User A logs in to the HCL Compass environment. User A is a member of Group A, which is associated with Customer A. When User A runs a query or requests a record, all defects are filtered on the security context of Customer A. Only defects that belong to Customer A are included in the result set.
