What is Access Control?

Companies business challenge is they should not grant all users access to the entire application, for example:

 Most users should not have access to system administration views

 Most users should not have access to all data in the application, for example
             Employee salaries, sales contracts, and other sensitive data

 Data not related to the employee’s job function 

So, Application administrators require a mechanism to restrict access to views and data

Ideally, the restriction mechanisms should be independent of one another:

 One mechanism to restrict access to views

 A separate mechanism to restrict access to data

And We have the Solution:
Siebel applications provide mechanisms known as Access Control to restrict views and data seen by users

 Responsibilities control access to views

 Positions control access to data

 These Access Control mechanisms are independent of one another
