Use the Security Access Manager workbench to configure a security framework for protecting the MDM Hub resources from unauthorized access. The security framework enforces the security policy decisions of your organization for your MDM Hub implementation and handles user authentication and access authorization at run time.

The security framework applies to the users of third-party applications who want to access the MDM Hub resources. The Hub Console has its own security mechanisms to authenticate users and authorize access to the Hub Console tools and resources.

If your application uses SIF requests to perform a task on your MDM Hub implementation that has the Security Access Manager workbench configured, ensure that you have appropriate permissions to access the MDM Hub objects.

You can also apply privileges at the column level. For example, the columns of the

P_CUST

package has the following privileges:

READ privilege on column 1
READ and CREATE privileges on column 2
No privileges on column 3

A

GetRequest

object can access data only from column 1 and column 2 because the column 3 does not have the READ privilege. A

PutRequest

object can insert a record only in column 2 because column 1 and column 3 do not have the CREATE privilege. You cannot update any column because none of the columns has the UPDATE privilege.
