Servoy allows users to quickly set up user groups and enable multilevel security access to solutions. This chapter describes how to assign security settings at the solution, form, and table level.

Note: For information on creating user groups, visit the chapter on Defining User and Group Security. Servoy also supports database security (enforced by the database) via the Servoy database server connection. For details, consult the documentation on your database server.
Servoy allows developers to create login forms/solutions (see Working with Solutions) to allow authenticated access to an application or solution. Once the login solution is created, it can be added to a solution via the Properties view.
