Whistle Studio GX Uses the same security model as your current ERP / Whistle system does. Users are created in the ERP system and then groups of warehouse level privileges called security templates are assigned using the User Configuration Tool.
The User Configuration Tool screen

An administrator is only allowed to assign privileges that are enabled in the current warehouse. To enable privileges in a warehouse, the administrator can use the Setup Warehouse Security Permissions tool. Once the privileges are enabled in a warehouse, the administrator can then build templates with them and assign them to other users with the User Configuration Tool|Studio:Setup Warehouse Security Permissions|Setup Warehouse Security Permissions tool.

The User Security Templates|Studio:User Security Templates|User Security Templates tool can be used to tailor the templates, both for creating new templates from the ground up or creating a default studio user templates. Each screen in Studio has its own distinct security privilege associated with it so that it can be easily be enabled or disabled.
