ACT! Security Model 5

Rex

Log-on Functionality

General
ACT! remembers the last user name used to open an ACT! database and populates the user • name field in the Log On dialog box with that data.
If a user selects the • Remember password option when logging on to a database, then ACT! remembers both the user name and password, and populates both fields in the Log On dialog box when opening that database. ACT! maintains saved credentials for each database opened with the Remember password option checked. This information is saved for each local Windows® user.
If a user does not select the • Remember password option when opening a database, ACT! only remembers the last user name, as described in the first bullet above.

Multi-User Databases

A multi-user database is a database having more than one active user. The following logon behaviors apply to a multi-user database:
