Sample Application Security Model

This topic describes the security model implemented with the Motor Loaner Vehicle Tracker sample application. See Administering Security for Entities for information on the Aptify security functionality described in this topic.

The sample application's security model consists of three groups:

• Users: This group corresponds to Motor Loaner's Rental Clerks and Service Technicians.
• Managers: This group corresponds to Motor Loaner's Management team, who need elevated permissions beyond what is granted to the Users group.
• Administrators: This group corresponds to Motor Loaner's IT department and database administrator. This group has all of the permissions of the Managers group plus additional administrator level permissions (such as to the Object Viewer).

Aptify has included a set of sample users to illustrate how the application appears to members of these groups:

• Clerk: To experience the application from the perspective of a Motor Loaner rental clerk, you can log in as the Clerk user (password: ~Pa$$word). This user is a member of the Users group only.
• Manager: To experience the application from the perspective of a Motor Loaner-manager, you can log in as the Manager user (password: ~Pa$$word). This user is a member of the Managers and Users groups.
• sa: to experience the application from the perspective of the Motor Loaner system administrator, you can log in as sa. The sa user is a member of the Users and Administrators groups.

The following sub-topics contain information about how the sample application has applied security settings for these three groups:
