Create a Security Profile

A security profile is a template you can use to add repetitive security master information into the system. Once a profile has been created, it is then available for you to apply the profile, to copy and paste the profile for use in a new environment and/or data strategy or to edit the profile and save it as a new profile.

1. From the toolbar, click Create New.
   You see the Create New Security dialog box.
2. Click the Data Strategy drop-down list and select a data strategy. Then click Ok.
   You see the security reference fields assigned by the data strategy.
