## 5.1.5 Managing security through the Desktop design 

<img src='content_image/983502.jpg'>

In the sample application, the user group grpSales is associated with the Sales Proposal - Add action and dialog object. This means that users who are in the grpSales group can add a sales proposal document to the system. Users who are not in the grpSales group will not be able to add a sales proposal document even if the ACL for the sales proposal class permits them to add documents for this class. 

Users interface with a Document Manager system using the Document Manager Desktop client. Document Manager enables you to customize the Desktop client to provide security to the system. 

You can create different Desktops for different users. You can control the menus and the icons available to users, and you can control the folder pane users see to control users’ views, folders, and searches. 

For illustration purposes, we show you the Document Manager Desktop view of two types of users, the administrative user (ICMADMIN) and an occasional Document Manager user (USER).
