I have a custom Lawson form that has a drop down select via a system key number. This select should view all employees. It works fine for HR super users (those with a UNIX identity tied to a security class).

MSS users can only see his/her direct reports when they access the form. MSS users do not have a UNIX identity and use the "ONLINE" privledged identity tied to "weblaw" in a LAUA secuirty class.

How can I over-ride Lawson's "my data security" for this form ???
We are LAUA.
LSF version 9.0.1.9
Thanks.
John

In your custom form, is the Lawson security logic (written in COBOL) inside your custom form?

I would try to review it and see if it make sense for your purposes, to change or remove it according to your needs.

There is no security calls written in the COBOL code. No calls the any security libraries.
When executing this form as a user that has no UNIX identity and thus uses the ONLINE privileged identity (weblaw) the form automatically limits any drill select based on employee number.
Interestingly, I can enter any employee number in the form without a security error.

If there was a Lawson command to tell the drill to ignore "My Data" security, I would be all set.

Lawson/INFOR came through for me.
The issue was that the RMID had the ACCESS flag set to "NO" instead of "YES".

In LAUA this opens you a small security hole that wold allow mangers to run DME & AGS calls if they know how.
I don't know of any managers that do... so I am good to go.

I disagree with the size of the security hole, and that's why i didn't recommend it...
