Managing System Variables

Managing System Variables – Search

The System Variables section contains two search-related variables:

• enforcePermissionCheckForScenarioSearch – aPriori 2018 R1 introduced the ability to restrict search results ONLY to those components to which the user has access. This only applies if your site has implemented Access Control. This setting is global.

To ensure that the Search window (see “Using the Search tool” in Chapter 4 of the aPriori Professional User Guide) does not display results to which the user does not have access:

o In the System Administrator window. click System Variables.

o In the enforcePermissionCheckForScenarioSearch row, set Value to true. (The default is false.)

Note: The default setting for this system variable is “false”, which means that all search results are displayed–the same behavior that is found in all releases prior to 2018 R1. You must set this value to “true” as described above to turn on access-restricted search results.

Administrators can further customize the behavior of the Search tool as described in Managing dialog views above.

• includeRemovedUsersInSearchCriteria – aPriori 2018 R3 SP1 introduced the ability to remove users without deleting their records from the database. To support this new functionality, includeRemovedUsersInSearchCriteria is provided to control whether or not removed users appear in search-related UI displays. The default value for this variable is false.
