Using master passwords and sub-passwords

Personalising Your Company Overview > Securing your company's data > Using master passwords and sub-passwords

In MYOB Accounting Plus, you can use a security system based on a master password and several sub-passwords. The master password is used to control access to the entire Accounting Plus system; this password is used to create sub-passwords, and it allows access to every area of Accounting Plus. You can have only one master password in a single company file.

Sub-passwords are used to control access to various sections of the Accounting Plus system, such as individual command centres. If your system uses passwords, you'll enter the password when you start Accounting Plus or switch from one company file to another; Users will be able to access those areas for which their password has been assigned access privileges. You can set up any combination of sub-passwords in your security system.

After you've created a master password, you'll need to use the master password or a sub-password each time you want to access this company file, and you'll need to enter the master password each time you want to open the Password Access window. Don't forget the master password!
