Ep 58 – JDE Security – Who Owns It?

The JDE Connection

Hosts Chandra and Paul kick off a multi-part series focused on security within JD Edwards (JDE) environments. Joined by guests Andrew Osick, Matthias Freitag, and Nimesh Patel, the conversation dives into real-world approaches to security ownership, role structures, and the critical importance of segregation of duties (SOD) across different organizations. The panel discusses how security responsibilities are often shared among business analysts, CNC teams, IT, and business stakeholders, emphasizing that there’s no one-size-fits-all model and that company-specific needs and compliance requirements dictate unique setups. The discussion also highlights the challenges and evolving best practices related to user defined objects (UDOs), including how organizations balance flexibility for end users with maintaining control and compliance.
