Section Access: Filtering information by USER

Greetings everyone!

I was about to deliver an app, but it was requested in short notice that it must have access control...

I'll shorten the scenario:

The app displays a lot of info related to Salesmen, therefore, making this info our key to access grant.

When the user itself open the app, and input USER/PSWD, only information related to it must be seem.

How can I link an info stored in a field to a Section Access USER, in order to create the behavior previously mentioned?

Any thoughts?

Thx in advance!

This is a classical scenario, and it's described very well in the Reference Guide, within the chapter "Security". The only caveat to keep in mind is that you can't link directly to the field USERID (I think...) - you need to create an additional field (like SP for salesperson) and link to it instead.
