Accounts

The Security Manager deals with users in terms of accounts. Information for all users is stored in an Account List. Each account has five properties:

•      Username: A letter/number/symbol combination by which the user is known.

•      Password: A letter/number/symbol combination known only to the user (see Password).

•      System Privileges: A list of system-level access rights for the user (see Privileges).

•      Application Privileges: A list of application-level access rights for the user (see Privileges).

•      Alternate Identification: An alternate method of identifying the user (see Alternate Identification).

Together, these properties provide a complete description of each user.
