AssetManager Pro Setting up Passwords

Setting passwords

You can safeguard your company's data by setting up passwords to prevent people from using parts of the data file that they don't need to use. This ensures that only authorised staff have access to your confidential information.

You can use the Password Access window to restrict access to specific functions in AssetManager Pro by assigning one master password and an unlimited number of sub-passwords. The owner of the master password has access to every function within AssetManager Pro, and assigns sub-passwords. Owners of sub-passwords are not allowed to access selected functions; for example, starting a new year, importing data into AssetManager Pro or deleting records. The owner of the master password selects the disallowed functions.
