Security model

The Act! Software Development Kit (SDK) provides a security model to protect data and to allow users access to specific features and functions.  

The Database security is defined and stored at the database level in a set of tables. This includes user information as well as record-level access. Security is enforced for access from third-party developers with the SDK serving as the "gatekeeper."

Functional security, as defined by user roles, sets privileges that control a user's access to functions (such as creating, editing, or deleting records). User roles are predefined and cannot be changed.

At the record level, record managers can specify contact records as public or private. For more information see the Act! online Help.
