Add Security Groups and/or Roles to a mApp Solution

Use the mApp Solution Options button Add to mApp Solution Button in the Security Group Manager or Role Manager to include pre-defined Security Groups or Roles in a mApp Solution.

You can also define how Security Groups and/or Roles are imported into a target system when the mApp Solution is applied.

Good to Know:

Security Groups and/or Roles may impact security rights in the target database after the mApp Solution is applied. Be sure to carefully review the merge actions and target items for Security Groups and Roles when you apply the mApp Solution. To ensure that you understand the implications of applying security changes included in the mApp Solution, we strongly advise you to apply the mApp Solution to a test environment and verify the security changes before you commit the mApp Solution to a production environment.
You cannot modify Security Groups or Roles in a mApp Solution.
Users assigned to a Security Group are not added to the mApp Solution. You must manually add Users to the Security Group after you apply the mApp Solution to the target system.
The following attributes are included with Role definitions:
- Role Name
- Primary Object
- Description
- Culture
- Role Image
If you do not choose to include Roles associated with Security Groups when you add Security Groups, you must manually add Roles to Security Groups in the target system.

Open the mApp Editor.
From the menu bar, click Managers, and then click Security Groups or Roles.
Select an item, and then click the mApp Options button .
Tip: You can also right-click a Security Group or Role, and then click Add to mApp in the context menu. You can then click the mApp Options button to set import options.
