Mendix Low-Code Fundamentals - Applying Application Security

In our Mendix Fundamentals YouTube series, AuraQ's team of expert developers take you through the essential features required to build an effective Mendix low-code application. Episode 3 focuses on Security, demonstrating how to apply security rules to your application.

Mendix developer, Rina Forster, will cover how you control access to your application and control the permissions of individual users. The tutorial will cover applying security rules to Entities, Pages, and Microflows and look at application level security options demonstrating how to define security levels, manage the admin account, demo users, anonymous access and how to set up the user roles. Along the way, Rina will share best practice tips and knowledge helping you to sharpen your Mendix skills and develop secure applications.
