Form Admin Tool Security

Form Admin Tool Security allows users to control access to the Form Admin Tool and its segments as shown on the Form Admin Tool page. The access is based on permission lists and can be controlled at the Form Type and Form Condition levels.

Navigation: Manage GT eForms 3.x > GT Functional Setup > GT System Setup > Form Admin Tool Security

Once customization is applied to one permission list, the remaining roles will need to be configured with access. If no customization is applied, then only the higher-level component and page security for G3Admin are applied.

If the ALL Form Type is chosen, any subsequent form definition will grant access based on the most specificity. Therefore, any form specified in a permission list definition that also has the ALL option chosen will use the definition at the individual form level.

note

Users must also have access to the G3ADMIN component and the subsequent pages.
