"Appeon has proven to be an exceptionally good tool for developing our internet apps. We deployed our first website, which allows Arizona state police and fireman payroll offices to upload employee contributions through the internet. The new site is saving our staff a great deal of time, because they no longer have to manually enter data. It is a very sophisticated site, with a lot of features. It would have taken months or years to develop in Java, or most other tools, but we were able to develop it in house, without hiring additional staff. Thanks for writing a great product." said Tom Willard, IT Database Development Manager of PSPRS (Public Safety Personnel Retirement System of the State of Arizona).

Access Control: Do You Manage Users, Roles and Permissions?

 

Data confidentiality and protection are crucial.
Most companies are looking for a system that would control access to their programs and data according to user roles (Role Based Access Control).
 
The question is: how to get such a system and make it work in your environment?
The key is not to re-invent the wheel and waste time rewriting tools that have already been created. For years, Novalys has developed and optimized Visual Guard, a solution that lets you define what each user can do, see or modify in your applications.
