ACT! Security Model 12

Rex

File Security
ACT! leverages Windows file security to manage access to non-database items stored in the file system. These items include:

Attachments to Contacts, Groups, Companies, Activities, Histories, or Notes•
Document tab items•
Layout templates•
Saved queries•
Report templates•
Word processor templates

To use features related to these items, users must have Windows access to the related folders. When a database is shared by an administrator (Tools> Database Maintenance> Share Database), this access is handled by ACT!.
If access to these folders or individual files is modified through the operating system, some features cannot work properly. Along with the functionality related to the above items, affected features can also include opening the database and performing synchronization tasks.
