Note
The code is too lengthy to list here. You can find a copy of the code for this lesson on the CD.
Feel free to simply open up the code associated with this chapter that's on the CD-ROM (\Ch13). Use it when going over the steps mentioned earlier.

Summary
This lesson presented you with an overview of the Workgroup and User Security Subsystem. In particular, you learned about the purpose of this subsystem and the subsystem's classes, as well as their methods, properties, arguments, and returns. This chapter covers security issues for Internet and desktop applications and discusses practical guidelines for implementing the Workgroup and User Security Subsystem. Finally, you learned how to incorporate the subsystem into the Samsona Bank Teller System example.
Q&A
Q What is transmission security?
A Transmission security is the flow of data across a network.
Q What is one way to secure information that flows from your application to another point in the network?
A By encrypting vital information such as passwords, you secure the information flowing across the network.
Q What's the purpose of the Workgroup and User Security Subsystem?
A The Workgroup and User Security Subsystem enforces the security of your application and makes sure that users are only able to do the business tasks they are supposed to do.
Q What is one of the most important but understand functions of a good workflow solution?
A One of the most important but understated functions of a good workflow solution is the ability to handle exceptions, which are rampant in every organization.
Q What is the benefit of dynamic routing?
A Dynamic routing gives the user the flexibility of adjusting the flow of work based on volatile business events. Changing business conditions at runtime can create the need for adaptability based on constraints your application's administrative user provide. These constraints would be entered through a Visual Basic form and then persisted in a database.
