We are on lawson 9, still using LAUA.
Within portal - HR11 - the screen does check our company process level....but when you key in an employee ID from another company (i.e. corporate) the user has the ability to drill around on that person...
when you key in the number in the emp ID field...then immediately reight click and select drill around - it will show data for that user.
When you simply enter the ID number and inquire - security does prevent access - so I know that it is checking based on process level..
See if this thread answers your questions:
