Direct Access

Environments - [Select Environments] - Users - [Select User] - Edit

Direct Access enables you to assign a user, role, or permission list access to an entire menu or an individual page, using the navigation menu.

• Assign 'Display' (D), 'Update' (U), or 'Correction' (C) access to a menu. e.g. PeopleTools.

• Select a single tab on a page.

Direct Access must be enabled under database settings.

Direct Access uses Sentinel objects to update only the selected user or role.

• Users - A custom role (SNT_USERID) is assigned to the user.

• Roles - Sentinel permission lists (SNT_###) are assigned to the role.

• Permission Lists - Page components are added or removed, as in PeopleSoft.

Selecting Access Levels

In edit mode, the 'D, U, and C' columns represent Display, Update, and Correction Access. You can select an entire menu or navigate down to the page/tab level.

When an access level is selected on a menu, all sub-menus will be selected with the same access.

Menu Colors

The colors of the menu indicate the following:

• Blue - Access has changed within the menu.

• Green - Page access that will be added.

• Red - Page access will be removed.
