Advanced Application Security in Sage 300 ERP

Whenever we  log in Sage 300 ERP, Accpac asks us to provide a password.

This is because of enabling application security option at the time of database setup.

This feature of Accpac provides an additional security at the time of login.

 

If we uncheck Enable application security option, Accpac won’t ask for password at the time of login.
