Welcome to the latest issue of The LawsonGuru Letter, a free newsletter providing provocative commentary on issues important to the Lawson Software community.  The LawsonGuru Letter is published by-and is solely the opinion of-John Henley of Decision Analytics.

Lawson Security and LBI integration
We have our users on LSF9 and Lawson Security.  We are implementing LBI and want to know if anyone has any ideas on how to make security maintenance in LBI less labor intensive.  I would like to use groups instead of individual user ids in LBI reports and LBI rights administration.  Any input will be most appreciated!!
