Assigning Security to Secured Datatypes
Use this form to assign security groups access to secured datatypes. When assigning security, you must filter for all instances of a datatype and assign security to security groups. You cannot assign datatype security to individual users.
Prior to assigning access here, you must secure the datatype in VA Data Security Setup.
There are two access levels available for data security access:
Allowed – Use this option to allow access to the datatype for the selected security group.
Not Allowed – Use this option to not allow access to the datatype for the selected security group.
The rest of this topic discusses setting security for secured datatypes. For more information on security, refer to Assigning User Security.

Maintaining Security for Orphaned Records
You can maintain data level security for orphaned records so that users have the ability to access any associated detail that may still exist in the system. For example, if data level security is set up for a contract, and then you purge the contract/job, you can maintain the security for that job in the VA Data Security Access form, so that associated details (e.g., invoices, payments, reports, etc.) are still accessible. To delete orphaned records, use VA Data Security Purge. For more information, refer to VA Data Security Purge.
