Security

Create users and assign permissions.

EBMS Security includes the ability to create users and assign rights. Security can be set within windows, tabs, data entry fields, reports, and a process or button. The security function also records the user on documents and general ledger transactions within EBMS. This can assist an auditor or manager in reconciling or tracking specific transactions.


User Management & Permissions

The System Administrator is the person responsible for maintaining the security of EBMS. Only a user with administrator permissions can access the User Management window. The Administrator is able to switch between different users and make the necessary changes to permissions. Assigning a username with access other than Administrator is also an effective way to restrict users from advanced functions that can be very dangerous for an inexperienced user.

Track Users

There are many advantages to assigning individual login names even if security is not a concern of management. The user is recorded on documents and general ledger transactions within EBMS to assist an auditor or manager reconcile specific transactions.
