TurboCASH 5.2 - Business Class - Online Help

The standard security is the main access control option where you may create users, set or change their passwords, e-mail addresses, disable users or delete users. On this Standard security tab, you may also allow or restrict access to the main functions, i.e. System setup, System menu, Global processes and the Bank reconciliation.
