Lists and reports are affected by password security

Personalising Your Company Overview > Securing your company's data > Lists and reports are affected by password security

When you use the Password Access window to restrict access to specific windows in MYOB Accounting Plus, you also restrict access to information shown in lists and reports throughout the entire Accounting Plus system.

For example, if you set up a password so Person A can't use the Purchases window, Person A will also be restricted from seeing any entries created in that window in Accounting Plus, such as those that normally appear in the PurchaseLedger Journal report or the Find Transactions window. This ensures that Person A has no opportunity to view your company's purchasing records. Any information that doesn't apply to purchases, however, would still be displayed.

If you've restricted access to any of the following windows, you've also limited some access to the information in at least one corresponding list or report in Accounting Plus. Users will still be able to view or print such lists and reports, but the lists and reports may not contain complete information. Keep this in mind if someone who is assigned a particular password is viewing lists or printing reports in Accounting Plus.
