Access Tags and Application Security

Application Security is managed through Access Tags: created within an application, and allocated to users at the application level, they control who can view and interact with specific screens and dimensions.

Two tag types exist:

• Screen Tags: control which screens are visible to a user. They also drive navigation visibility - Menu entries pointing at screens the user has no tag for aren't shown at all, and Custom Pages can hide their own content per tag using <!--tag:NAME--> blocks. See What a screen tag controls.
• Element Tags: control which elements within a dimension a user can access, at Read, Write, or No Access level. Deprecated in favour of Instance Security, which offers more flexible, group-based control over element access.
