"SafetyNet" Security and Authorizations

• system authorizations may be assigned by logon, by authorization code at logon or at each major screen, or at each transaction (for major data entry screens).
• authorizations control such things as access to programs, access to menus and menu items, the ability to see cost within programs, the ability to change prices, and much more.
• Menu commands, EXECUTEs, data entry security overrides, and data input may all be audited by the administrator, at his or her option, by tweaking overall or individual user flags.
• there is a RAD program which can be run to change all MultiValue level passwords at one time, thus encouraging frequent password changes.
• an audit file is maintained capturing management overrides in critical data entry decisions
• MultiValue systems have very sophisticated security that enables both internet access and client-server access without worry. Features such as LOCKOUT, AUTO-DISCONNECT, AUTO-LOGOFF, command-level access protection, debugger-access protection, port-defined account-access protection, encrypted/one-way passwords, account-access logging, and security-violation logging provide excellent security
• The AUTO-LOGOFF and AUTO-DISCONNECT features also help keep user-license fees to a minimum because such fees are determined by the number of active connections.
• BB4GL audit programs can audit command execution, input, and password entry, overall or by indiviual use, or not at all.
• Of course, Windows and/or Unix provide an outer layer of protection as well.
• Generally independent of both Smart User Interface and Graphical User Interface
