Role-Based Security introduces Role type profiles and allows combining the use of Role profiles with the traditional LX User type security profile functionality. The new Role type profile can be defined to allow or deny access to All Products, Attention Key, Products, Programs, and Transaction Effects. Facility, Warehouse, and Company securities are still defined solely by the User profile settings and are not affected by the assignment of a Role. Where applicable, the Role authority is displayed alongside the User authority on the security profile maintenance screens making it easy to see where there are differences in authority between the User and the assigned Roles. 

When Users are assigned to Roles, security access in LX becomes a combination of authorities granted or denied by the Role, plus any User Exceptions. User Exceptions override authorities set by the Roles. A User can also be assigned to more than one Role.

This enhancement provides a method to post material, labor, and overhead values on inventory postings to the general ledger to meet financial reporting requirements. The solution provides an optional further breakdown of cost by cost bucket using the new G/L Cost Type.

Here are some issues that you might run into if you stay on an old porting set too long:

• Incompatibility because of operating system patches
• Printing issues because of out-of-date libraries
• Potential performance issues if binaries are not updated
• Updating third party products may not be possible because of dependencies
• Limited support from Infor
• Issues with updating database software/patches because of dependencies (if database is also running on same server as application)
