Which of the following is NOT an artifact to which Security can be applied?

• A. Task Lists
• B. Journals
• C. Reports
• D. Dashboards

Answer: (D)

Security in FCCS focuses on artifacts that govern actions and access to data: task lists determine who can participate in tasks, journals control who can view, enter, or post journal entries, and reports govern who can run or view financial outputs. Dashboards, while they display data, aren’t secured with per-object permissions in the same way. Access to dashboards is tied to overall application or module-level access rather than a specific security setting on the dashboard itself. So dashboards do not support granular security at the artifact level, making them the item where security isn’t applied in the same way as the other artifacts. In practice, you control visibility to dashboards through role-based access to the application and underlying data sources rather than by applying security to the dashboard artifact itself.
