Use this form to set up rules for segregation of duties. Create a rule when two duties must be performed by separate roles for better security or better compliance with policies and regulations. When two duties in the same role are in conflict, or when a user is assigned to two roles that contain conflicting duties, the conflict is logged. The security administrator must approve or reject each assignment that causes a conflict.

Run the process that verifies whether existing security roles comply with the selected rule. You can validate only one rule at a time.

The Infolog displays the results of the validation. If there is a conflict, you can double-click the message to open the Security roles form. When the form opens, the role is automatically selected.
