    Does anyone use the Phone Book task in ESS, under the Employment link?

    How can you allow unrestricted access to all employees for this link, yet still limit all the other tasks to allow the employee only to view the data associated with their own personnel record in HR11?

    We have conditional formatting tied to most of the forms/files associated with ESS queries so an employee only has access to their own information. As a result, the employee phone book is only displaying the employee's own work phone number when they attempt to search for another employee in the phone book task.

    We're trying to determine a way around this since it is defeating the purpose of the phone book directory. Thank you.

      In Lawson security, the less restrictive security trumps the more restrictive security. You can have the more restrictive security set such that an employee can only update their own work phone number and the less restrictive security set such that all employees can inquire on work phone number. Assign both security classes to your ESS role.

      HTH,

        Thanks Karen.

        Have you actually done this in your setup? If so, are you able to identify which files we would need to grant access to in order to accomplish this using a secondary security class? would it just be the three identified in the technical guide (PRSYSTEM, EMPLOYEE and PATHFIND), or are there others required to be set as well? Thank you.
