Startup Guide Security

Problem

In Goldenseal accounting software versions 3.01 and earlier, users with limited password access can still access forbidden areas by clicking buttons on the Startup Guide.

Caught By

User.

Workaround

Use the Custom Layouts command to remove the buttons, or add a clear rectangle to cover them so they can't be clicked.

Solution

Version 3.1 of Goldenseal construction accounting software disables buttons in the Startup Guide if the user does not have password access to that area.

Technical Details

We designed the Startup Guide to help beginners, but many users seem to use it as a "traffic center". This security improvement will make the Guide more useful for large companies that need to control each user's access to different parts of Goldenseal.
