You may already be familiar with the classic Epicor Eagle™ Security application. You know how to use the various functions and reports, including Function MUR (Modify User Record), Function MSE (Modify Security File), and Report RUS (User File Report). This topic compares the classic Security application to the Epicor Eagle™ Security for Windows application so that you can understand the similarities and differences between the two.
Where is the Main Menu? With the classic Security application, if you want to display a user's security, you type MSE at the Main Menu and press the Enter key.
With the Security for Windows application, the Main Menu has been replaced by the Eagle Browser. From the Browser window you can display a user's security using either of the following methods:
In the list in the left pane, click Applications. Then from the list in the right pane, click System Management Menu, then click Security.
In the top pane, in the Launch box, type MSE and press Enter.
The Browser is very similar to the Main Menu. If you know the acronym for the window you want to display (such as MSE for Modify Security File), type the acronym in the Launch box and press Enter.
If you don't know the acronym, click Applications from the list in the left pane, then click an applications category from the list in the right pane, and then click the name of the window you want to display.
You can also click the arrow to the right of the Launch box to display a list of recently accessed windows. From this list, you can click one of the choices to display the window.
With the classic Security application, if you want to look up a user's security and you know the user's signon name, you type the signon name and press the Display key. If you don't know the user's signon name, you must repeatedly press the Next Item key until you find the correct user. With either method, you get a list of "bit numbers" which represent different capabilities on the Eagle system. To find out what capabilities those bit numbers represent, you must look them up in the online help system.
With the Security for Windows application, you can display a user's security by simply clicking on the user in a drop-down list, and clicking Display. A description of each bit number displays automatically, eliminating the need to look up a bit number to find out what capability it represents.
Use the following table to map the classic Security function to Security for Windows. In the first column you'll find the classic Security function or report name and acronym. In the second column is the Security for Windows name and acronym. This is the acronym you type in the Launch box to display the window.
If a classic Security function or report is not found in the table, then it is not yet available in Security for Windows. You can still access the classic function or report from the Main Menu, using Network Access.
