Password Management

Password Management puts a password prompt in front of individual actions in ARM, so a sensitive action can be protected even for someone whose group lets them open the screen. It is a second layer on top of Groups: Groups decide what a role can reach, and Password Management decides which of those actions additionally demand a password. Protected items are grouped under the ARM areas they belong to, such as Invoice Entry, Reports, Employee, Inventory and System Setup Tools.
