Accounts security is of critical importance, as Accounts can display confidential information, including the financial state of your business. As such, some care must be used 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 the traditional Jim2 Security.
To enable other users to view specific areas, select the Security Group, click Edit and expand the Accounts (and sub-folder) tick box.
Choose what you would like the user to be able to do.
Tick box settings:
