Preferences - Users - Security

When you log into ArchiOffice, what you see and are able to do is dictated by your security settings. The privileges set here take precedence over the security settings of the work group to which a user is assigned.

In new installations, Admin user accounts have all settings checked and regular user accounts have all settings unchecked by default. If upgrading from a previous version of ArchiOffice, all previously set security privileges will be maintained.
