Security Levels in ACT! by Sage Premium
There are 3 different types of Security in ACT!: Database Level, User Level and Record Level security.
Database Level Security:
Database Level Security is designed to only allow users with login access to open the database. Users must validate their login information through a currently active user name and password. Users can exist in the database but might be marked as Inactive, which would prevent them from opening the database. This also prevents users who are not members of the database from viewing the data, as they will not have a user name and password.
Single user databases do not require the user to log in. However, adding a password to the single user will then require the user to enter their user name and password when opening the database. Multi-user databases will always require each user to log in with their individual login information.
User Names:
By default, user names will match the Contact field of the 'My Record'. User names are not case sensitive. User names can be changed by Administrator level users only.
Passwords:
Passwords are not required and unless there are security reasons for using a password, it is recommended that a password not be created. When creating a user, or when changing the password on an existing user, the password field can be left blank. When a password is blank, typing anything into the password field will produce an Invalid user name or password error when logging into the database.
