Secure Codes extend the usefulness of standard Web Access code structures by enabling an organization to specify access to certain project, resource, activity, and issue codes.
Note: Only global and EPS-level activity codes can be designated as secure. Project-level secure activity codes are not available.
How does code security work?
Access to secure codes is granted through separate hierarchical privileges, allowing an organization to precisely provide users with the access level they require.
Individuals who have the top-level privilege to create and delete secure codes automatically have the capability to edit, assign, and view secure codes. Conversely, the lowest level of access provides view-only privileges, while secure codes are hidden or inaccessible to users who have no access privileges granted.
Creating secure codes
Secure and standard codes, except issue codes, can be created, deleted, and modified in the Project Management module. Refer to the Project Management module online Help for details about creating these types of codes.
In P6 Web Access, you can create, delete and modify secure and standard issue codes and activity codes.
Assigning and Viewing Secure Codes
If you have the necessary privileges, you can assign and view secure codes wherever they appear in P6 Web Access. For example, you can assign and view secure codes on the Project, Activity, or Resource Details Codes pages. As with standard codes, you can use secure codes to group and filter project data, for example, you can specify a secure code as a filter to automatically create a project portfolio.
