Runtime access tracking allows administrators to manage script access to application
resources by creating a list of script operations and targets that the system authorizes to
run.

Runtime access tracking provides the following options:  
{#c_RuntimeAccessTracking__table_mxm_sm1_jv__entry__4}

| Option | Tracking done | Authorization done | Results |
|-|-|-|-|
| None | The system does not track runtime access requests. | The system does not require authorization to run access requests. | Application scripts can access resources from other applications as long as the table-level access settings allow it. |
| Tracking | During development, the system creates a Cross-Scope Privilege record for each runtime access request. After installation, the system no longer tracks new runtime access requests. | The system sets the status of the Cross-Scope Privilege record to Allowed. | The system runs the tracked operation as long as the table-level access settings allow it. |
| Enforcing | During development, the system creates a Cross-Scope Privilege record for each runtime access request. After installation, the system no longer tracks new runtime access requests. | The system sets the status of the Cross-Scope Privilege record to Requested. | The system blocks the tracked operation from running until an Administrator manually changes the status to Allowed and the table-level access settings allow it. |
[Table 1. Runtime access tracking options]

During development, application designers must run all of an application's script logic to
ensure the system tracks and authorizes the access requests to other applications.
