Employee Access

How do I keep employees from seeing data they shouldn't see?

Goldenseal accounting software includes a password system that lets you "fine tune" the access that each employee has, so they can only see or change certain records.

To set up an employee password, follow these steps:

1. Choose Passwords from the Options menu.
2. Click the New button.
3. Enter details for the password.
4. Click OK.

For each part of Goldenseal, you can allow the employee to have any of four access levels:

• No access-- Employees will not be able to see any records in that area.
• View Only access-- Employees can see records, but can't change them or create new items.
• Data Entry access-- Employees can create new records and change existing records.
• Full access-- Employees can create new records, change or delete existing records, create or change lists, and change any layouts.

You can also use the Record Lock feature to prevent employees from changing records after a certain time period. That way you can be sure that nobody will tamper with your older records.
