Cobra Help System

Application-Level Security

Application-level security pertains to menu items that are secured based solely on the user’s Primary Role in EPM Security Administrator or PPM Administrator. If a Primary Role is not defined for a user, Cobra uses the access rights defined for the DEFAULT role in EPM Security Administrator or PPM Administrator to secure a menu item.
