Set Up Menu and Form Security.
Click on the Security Button on the Administrator Menu to enter the Security Administration System.
Click on the Security Categories Icon to set up Security Categories. If you rest the cursor on an Icon the name of the Icon will appear below it.
Read the Help and set up three Categories: ADM for Administration, EMP for Employee File and SYS for System.
Click on the Components Icon. Highlight the Form named frMDIMain. This is the initial screen displayed by Mapcon Lite. Click on Select Components.
Highlight sbAdmin. This is the Administration Icon. Click on the Setup Security Button.
Highlight the Visible Security Option and select SYS Level 9 as the Security Code.
Click on the Post Button and then click on the Done Button.
Now a User must have a SYS 9 Security Code to see the Administration Icon.
Highlight frEmployees (Employee Data Entry) and click on Select Components.

Click on the Post Button and then Click on the Done Button.
Click on the Exit Icon at the Top of the screen.
Leave all other menu options unsecured. The absence of a Security Code on a Menu Pick or Component allows a User to have unrestricted access to that Menu Pick or Component regardless of the Security Codes the User has been assigned.
Design User Profiles.
First, we must set up additional Users. Exit from the Security System by clicking on the Exit Icon at the top of the screen. You will return to Mapcon Lite.
Click on the Employee Icon and then the Employee Data Entry Button. Read the Help. Insert a new Employee: Payclerk (They can be deleted later.) Save the Employee record. Insert a new Employee: Worker. Save the Employee record. Click on the Exit Button at the top of the screen to close the Employee screen.
Click on the Administration Icon and then the Security Button to return to the Security system.
Click on the User Profiles Icon at the top of the screen.
Highlight the Administrator User Name and click on the Edit Button.
Click on the Insert Button and assign the Administrator a SYS 9 Security Code. A SYS 9 Security Code over-rides all other Security Codes and is usually assigned only to the Administrator.
Click on the Post Button to save the Administrators Security Code.
Highlight the Payclerk User Name and click on the Edit Button.
Click on the Insert Button and assign the Payclerk an EMP 6 Security Code. Since an EMP 5 Security Code is required to see pay rates, the Payclerk will have access.
Click on the Post Button to save the Payclerk s Security Code.
Click on the Exit Icon at the top of the Screen to close the User Profiles Screen.
Exit from the Security System by clicking on the Exit Icon at the top of the screen. You will return to Mapcon Lite.
Click on the Administration Icon, then the Initialization and Utilities Button, followed by the System Initialization Button.
Enable Security and close the screen.
Now, let s check to see if it works as defined. Log into Mapcon Lite each of the three User Ids: Administrator, Payclerk and Worker. The Worker should not see anything that has been secured.
