Database Security

Database Security:

"Management Module" (effects "TimeSheet" Package)

Each individual Project database can be configured to restrict employee access to specific parts of the 'Consult' TimeSheet system. This has been done to restrict the number of people who can change areas of the package that will effect other users.

The default is for all users to have full access to all areas. Any changes to these switches will not effect the access you have through the Management Module. It is assumed a senior person will use this package so full access is provided.

WARNING: These settings are only accessible from within the Management Module. If changes are made during the 30 day trial period and the Management Module is not purchased, the changes will not be able to be reversed as the user will not be able to open the Management Module.

To open the above form, select the 'Set Security Levels' from the configuration section of the 'Project Database File' menu in the Management Module.

"Allow Staff to add, edit and delete Project List" - Removing the tick from this item will restrict all staff from adding or editing the 'Project' list. They will still be able to view the details on the 'Projects' tab in the 'Consult 2.0' TimeSheet software.

"Allow Staff to add, edit and delete Contact List" - Removing the tick from this item will restrict all staff from adding or editing the 'Contact' list. They will still be able to view the details on the 'Company Contacts' tab in the 'Consult 2.0' TimeSheet software.

"Allow Staff to edit the Work Type and Units Lists" - Removing the tick from this item will restrict all staff from editing either the 'Work Type' or 'Units' list. The 'Work Types' list is used to classify each time period entered and the 'Units' list is used in the 'Expenses' section.

"Allow Staff to edit the Staff Positions and Associated Business field Names" - Removing the tick from this item will restrict all staff from editing the 'Staff Positions' and 'Associated Business' labels. Refer to the 'Editing Projects' section for an explanation of the items.

To designate a single ( senior?) staff member to have full access (overriding the above settings) tick the bottom box and select the 'Designated Users' name from the drop-down list.

The above options effect all users that access the specific Project database file currently open. If your company runs multiple project files you will need to repeat any changes in each database file.
