ACT! Security Model 1

Rex

Introduction

The ACT! by Sage security model is designed to maximize flexibility and provide a variety of options for securing data. Managers and Administrators (in larger organizations the Administrator may work in the IT organization) can leverage ACT! security features to limit access to the database, records within the database, and fields related to those records. The entire ACT! product family uses the same ACT! security model, ensuring consistent data protection without regard to the ACT! application being used.

This White Paper explains the ACT! security model, including descriptions of the key features, capabilities, and concepts. This document is intended for current ACT! customers and potential customers performing functional and technical evaluations of the product, and is based on functionality available in ACT! by Sage Premium 2009 (11.0).
