I have one app - with personell data - that is of course password-protected. There are two logon_tickets:
- One for myself and the developers (granting full access)
- One for the rest of the world (granting only viewing)
<=> This app (the figures contained in this app that is) are talked of every day at 8am in a special meeting that takes place every day.
=> The manager leading this meeting seemed to be not altogether happy with the fact that they have to enter a password, however simple, to access that data.
<=> I won't sacrifize security altogether just for a little bit more comfort.
=> My question is: When the app for this meeting is opened, it contains a link opening the HR_app - could I pass the logon_information in some form from this app to the HR_app so entering the username and password is not necessary? (there would be no damage in that since the "regular" users can only view the data)?
((=> Alternatively, I will copy that app and in the copy (intended for everybody and specifically for that meeting), I'll just use AutoNumber() to replace all sensitive information so that that app does not have to be protected - but that is tricky and will take a while since the sensitive info should then not be in the DataModel in the first place, so it has to be well thought thru.))
Well, I'll just give it a few nights' sleep and tell my colleague to test it again. It should work - there are regularly things on my machine that should actually work, with the correct syntax and all, but they don't - and then suddenly they do.
