Title: Using Security Features

SETTING UP SECURITY

Use the Security Manager module to set up multiple user accounts, create templates for adding new users, and specify users’ privileges for accessing databases, fields, screens, functions, modules, and the records of other employees.

The Administrator can use the Security Manager module to:

• Change their own user name and password.

• Add or remove Personnel Manager user accounts and templates for setting

up new user accounts.

• Control the access that users have to Personnel Manager databases, screens,

fields, functions and modules. For example, you can deny user access to the

Security Module itself, deny access to screens such as Exit Interviews and Pay

History, or to sensitive fields within screens, and deny access to the records of

departments such as Finance and Administration.

• Control the access that users have to the records of other employees.
