Change Function Security

With the Change Function Security menu, you can maintain security levels and passwords for each menu function.

When CGM webPRACTICE is initially installed, every menu function has a security level (between one and nine) assigned to it. One is the lowest and nine is the highest. A user is allowed access to those functions with a security level equal to, or less than, their own security level. You can modify the security levels and add passwords to the various menu functions based on the security needs of your practice.

NOTE: If your practice has multiple databases, the security for each function is shared across the databases.

Upon accessing this function, you will need to click the magnifying glass to search and select the function you want to change.
 

 
 
 
After selecting the function, the code displayed is comprised of one mnemonic code from at least two connecting menus. Each set of codes will be separated by a period and will access a specific function. For example, MAN.AGE.PER or SYS.DBS.SCH. If you are not familiar with mnemonic codes, you can print a list of functions and their mnemonic codes using the Print a List of Functions and Security function.


 
NOTE: You can only assign security levels and passwords to actual functions, not menus. For instance, it is not possible to change the security level of MAN.AGE (Reports, Aged Receivables) because that only gives you access to a menu of various Aged Receivables report options.
