Security Priorities
From minimal security to maximum security
Table
10–1 suggests an order for implementing a secure Multi system.
Additional security for some installations
This additional security may not apply to your installation. If you are unsure, see the network
administrator.
• LocalView. Multi SAs can use Central User Management to control user accounts. See
User
Management, p.
153.
• Multi databases on a network. Network system administrators or database administrators can
protect a Multi Central database from deletion. See
Multi Database Security, on p. 165.
• Remote access service. Multi SAs may need to obtain PPP connectivity passwords.
See
PPP Connectivity, on p. 196.

Minimal security
Minimal security can be appropriate when a Multi system is used by only one person. At the very
least, Honeywell recommends that you add a system password (see System Password, p. 166).
