About Security Groups - IFS MWO Maintenance

Security Group access is required for the app to retrieve synchronized data from the server and display it on the relevant screens in the mobile apps. Therefore, security groups can be used to restrict a user's access to functionality by hiding screens and commands in the mobile application, as well as preventing data from being synced to the mobile device.

The document below provides a high-level explanation of what each security group controls in the mobile application, in terms of data and screen accessibility.
