System Setup | User Security

 

The Security screen displays a list of users allowed access to the database and user groups, to which each user must be assigned to one group.



 

You can assign a unique username and password to each user

 

You can also create user security groups and specify which parts of the program users assigned to that group are allowed access to, such as Customers, AR Invoices, Inventory, etc.
