3.1.1 Login
As with any critical data system, security is always an issue. Symphony Pro offers configurable
security "levels" so that users can only access functions that are available to their assigned security
level. For example, you probably want the store manager to be allowed to add / remove items, but
cashiers should not be allowed. When a user logs into the system, they can only activate or use
options that their security level allows them.
When Symphony Pro is first launched, the application runs at the "no user" level. This means that
launching most options or applications will open the login panel. By default, the user "7" is given the
programmer security level, meaning access to all functions and options.
Use this option to sign onto the system with your user name (and password).
·Selecting the "Login" option opens the "Enter login" panel.
·Enter the user number from the keyboard
