Inaccessible GRID by Extensible Framework

Hi,

II came across a problem with when I am getting data from a Grid and if it is not available for query / consulting of the user / usergroup in EAM it does not work.

Even if it is in a user group menu and is hidden option.

It doesn't work for both standard screen and a custom Grid.

Has this happened to anyone? Any workaround?

How to get data from a Grid where this grid/screen is not accessible by menu?

Thanks

Hi,

If you have Alert management module, you can create an Alert grid instead of a List grid. In this case, you can access with Extensible Framework.

When EAM was upgraded to 11.6 they closed a "security hole". You must have the Grid visible in the users menu or it is not accessible through EF.

Likewise, if you want to use EF to write to a Screen, the user must have update/insert rights.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the info.

That´s really a problem because some users have very low menu options and normally administration don´t want them to see another screens.

It´s possible to get the info directly from a table instead of a gird?

Grids are the way that you access data in the application using EF functionality. I do not know of another way to get to table data.

What you can do is lock-down the grid so the user can not see any data either through dataspys or EF on the grid.

I had an extensive discussion with the EAM Product Manager and going back to using Hidden Grids is a non-starter.
