Search Type Security

A fairly recent internal audit found that there is "excessive access to the address book and vendor master file within JDE."

We need to assess capabilities of the functionality and identify the impact that it will have on the various business processes. The documentation seems relatively straight-forward. I'm reaching out to you to see what kind of gotcha's aren't in the documentation.
