Accounts security is of critical importance, as accounts can display confidential information, including the financial state of the business. Care must be taken when considering which users in the company are allowed to create and manage accounts, and which Accounts tabs they are allowed to see. |
The ability to add, edit, view and amend accounts is handled via Jim2 Security.
To enable other users to view specific areas, select the Security Group, click Edit and expand the Accounts (and sub-folder) checkbox.
