This article contains an overview of Employee Permissions and Software Security.
Microvellum Toolbox and the Operational Modules (Production) contain large amounts of company data that may be used either within Microvellum or exported to other types of software such as accounting packages or material management systems. Some of this data is private, and access should be restricted to only specific company personnel. This is a typical use for Employee Permissions.
Another and equally important use for them is to protect your company manufacturing data from unauthorized modification or deletion. To accomplish this, you establish specific employees as qualified to perform certain types of tasks within the software and assign them permissions that give them access to those tasks.
The permission settings are stored in the "MicrovellumSecure" database, which is password protected and encrypted. If this database is corrupted for any reason, you may delete it, and the Microvellum program will re-create it upon startup. Just be aware that when the database is deleted, so will the employee data it contains. The new database created by Microvellum contains the same default sample employee data as when the program is installed for the first time. The Administrator will then need to delete existing contacts and add the company employees. We recommend that you back up this database to prevent the possibility of data loss.
To configure your employee Permissions, you will need to do the following.
