Why don't window action access rights work?

Question

This is a serious security concern, defining group access rights on menu items is not enough to restrict access to actions

How do you protect against this ? someone could just try action ids one by one until they find an existing action that gives him/her access to potentially private information.

I restricted access to a window action to a specific group, but I was still able to see it with a user that doesn't belong to that group.

*Edit:* The same goes for views, when I define access rights

Ray Carnes · Answer

Using groups to hide or give access to menus is more related to the needs of ergonomics or usability than the needs of security. It is a best practice to putting rules on documents and models instead of putting groups on menus. For example, hiding invoices can be done by modifying the record rule on the invoice object, and it is more efficient and safer than hiding menus related to invoices.

Similarly, using groups to hide or give access to views based on groups should also not be considered as meeting security needs.
