JCS SECURITY

JCS has 999 levels of security.  Within these 999 levels of security you can also do exception security and security by staff role.  Our product has one of the best and most flexible security systems on the market today.  Talk about user-friendly software, including the ability to secure the system the way your administrators want to.  WE HAVE IT!

The following details different security levels within our Juvenile Court System.

  • NETWORK SECURITY - Provides basic user access security
  • RDBMS Security - Protects the integrity of the data by preventing unauthorized users and applications from making changes to the system
  • Application security - 999 levels of user access security provided at the screen, button, and field level.
  • Menu security - Provides user access to all or certain menu options

Detailed Security Definitions

Network security is fairly easily understood as it relates to the application.

RDBMS security is also very basic and easily understood.  SoftTec does not provide access for individual users to the database.  The application contains one user id and password.  The application itself logs into the database as necessary once the user is authenticated through the application security.  User security levels are not necessary as they relate to Microsoft SQL Server.

The application security system is structured around several layers of security.  This is the most complex part of the security system.  We designed this security around the specific needs of a juvenile justice installation.

  • Staff Role Security - This is the primary security layer within JCS.  This layer allows access to or visibility of any object, data field or caption on any screen to be secured for access to specific groups of users.  This also applies to menu options and entire modules.  This security is the most powerful security component of the system as it is the best mix of flexibility and efficiency in administration.
  • Module Level Security - This is the most specific of the security controls within JCS.  This allows the system administration team to limit or grant access to any specific element within the software for a specific named user.  This provides the most flexibility although it requires a higher level of administration as staff turnover occurs.
  • Security Groups - This is the most general level of security as it provides the fastest way to set security for modules, options, screens, or specific elements for large groups of users at a time.  Although it is not the only use of that security layer, using this option clients have easy access to hiding that security layer, using this option clients have easy access to hiding complete sections of the application for the entire user base.  This is useful when there are areas of the software that you want to test for integration and approve for use but phase in at a later time.
  • Function Specific Security - This is not actually a layer of security like the previous items in this section.  This is more of a random selection of juvenile court specific security functions including the following:
  • Access to sealed records - Certain users may be granted access to see sealed records while these records are not visible to the general user population.
  • Access to modify released detention records - certain users may be given access to update records for released detainees without forcing your system administrators to set many options throughout the detention system.
  • Access to specific note types - certain users may have access to view certain case notes within the system while other users are screened from even having the knowledge that theses notes exist.
