When systems are first installed, security is established with the assistance of a qualified VAR or consultant. As years go by, security is established by copying one user's rights to another. Frequently this works. However, in
some cases, the rights are not conveyed exactly as they should be. Check, for example, the rights of users to access options under the File menu. This includes maintenance functions such as Check Links, Backup, Restore, and Clear Data (yes, it could delete all of your records!). Other not quite so dangerous functions might be exposed to users by accident as well. Taking some time to walk through the current security settings and verifying that the right team members can get ONLY to the tasks they require could save countless hours restoring lost data, even if it is only accidental.
