 Lets you define account access permissions for individual Sage Accpac users.
Depending on the Default Access setting, you will need to use the Account Permissions form mainly to grant access to accounts, or to restrict it. |

Note: |

G/L Account Permissions is part of G/L Security, an option in the General Ledger program. The Account Permissions icon does not appear in the G/L Accounts folder unless you select the "Use G/L Security" option on the Account tab of the G/L Options form, and then close and reopen the company database. (After you reopen your company database, the icon appears in the G/L Accounts folder. The icon does not appear until you take this step.) |
