Object Structures - There should be a way of seeing which applications, security templates and security groups use the object structure.

When looking at Security Groups and receiving a message to say that you don't have access to an object, finding the security template to apply is difficult. For example, when you receive message BMXAA0024E - The action READ is not allowed on object VIEWMANAGER. Verify the business rules for the object and define the appropriate action for the object - it is likely that you have not reapplied a security template, but which one? It then becomes too easy to just add this in Security Groups - Object Structures tab, but that defeats the purpose of the Security Template.

Suggest that a new action is added to Object Structures application to find where in Security Groups it has been applied, this should show both the Security Templates and the Security Groups as it is also easy to reapply the security template for one or two security groups and miss it for others that ought also to have had the security template reapplied. Administration of security groups, has got a lot more complex and we need tools to help iron-out issues.
