• Use Join method for security enforcement• If enabled, when users run the query, iMIS checks to

make sure they have permission to read every source within the query before displaying the results, whether the source is a business object, another query, or both. When disabled, iMIS does not check the security for every source and instead only enforces the security setting for the main query.
