Requesting assistance with securing Finance user to specific company

We have multiple companies set up in Lawson and some finance users need access only to their company's information.  The user's company number was added to the user in LSA User Management. A new security class was created, along with a new role named CompanyLimit. A rule was added to the role by Securable type of Element Groups on PROCLEVEL: if(user.attributeContains('Company|Control',trim(COMPANY)))
   'ALL_ACCESS,'
else
   'NO_ACCESS,'

The rule works fine in GL, but AP pulls nothing. The user should be able to see AP inquiries for their company on AP90. What am I missing? Thanks

The AP company is a completely different animal. You are specifying GL company. Won't work in AP. Check AP00.4 to set up your AP company. The GL company and AP company _should_ be the same, but do not have to be the same. Also, AP has the concept of the Vendor Group and Pay Group, which allow further refinement of user access.

Thank you. So do I need 2 different rules - one for AP and one for GL? Would you provide more information also on Vendor Group and Pay Group? I don't know if these fields are being used for this company differently or not.

Yes, you will need a rule or rules for AP as well. Sorry, I only know how my employer is set up. How things are set up ... your accounting people will be your best resource. Watch out for interaction between rules, remembering that the least-restrictive always wins out. It would be nice if there was a way to say, "But don't allow this!" That's not how it works, though. I think that some other System codes also have their own Company setups, you might want to look through the Setup menus and see what's out there.
