Security
The Acumen security system can be used to achieve much more than just control over who uses the system. The system has predefined Accounts (username entries) which are configured for use by people in your company that carry out the roll described. These predefined types are:
Manager The system administrator. Highest level user
POS Point Of Sales. For typical sales document entry
Pricing Officer responsible for product and special customer prices
Credit Officer responsible for Credit checking and authorisation
Debtors Accounts Receivable Manager
Creditors Accounts Payable Manager
Purchase Purchasing officer
Receiving Goods inwards officer
Supply Supplier invoice approval officer
Ledger General Ledger Accountant
Each Account has its own password, base access and specific access levels. Any account can be used at any location in a computer network. Only the Manager account defined above has the ability to access other accounts. The system administrator may create more accounts with the same abilities as the Manager account or any other predefined account. To copy the abilities of a predefined account simply set the same base access level and using copy and paste (Ctrl C and Ctrl V) copy the specific access list.
Note that any account with a password of dot [.] will not require the password to be entered (ie. becomes an automatic login). When the system is installed a default account exists under the username dot [.] with a password of dot[.]. This effectively disables security as this account automatically logs in and grants full manager privileges.
To activate security you must alter the password of the default account to something other than dot [.]. You may also wish to change the default username on the configuration screen of some workstations.
