Default Security Classifications

Spectrum provides a pre-defined screen level security configuration.

The default settings are not fixed. Each organization defines their own operator-level security.

If a particular function is assigned security level 6, operators with security level of 1 through 5 are not permitted to use the function while operators with levels of 6 through 9 are permitted access.

After module security level access is determined, operators can be assigned security levels to control access to the modules.
