Security codes

RSView32 has 17 security codes: an asterisk (*) and the letters A
through P. The asterisk is for unlimited access, and the letters are for
limited access. The letters are not hierarchical—that is all letters
provide the same level of security. You do not have to use all of the
security codes, nor do you have to assign the codes in a particular
order. For example, you can choose to use only the codes D and P and
you can assign P before you assign D.

The default

The first record in the spreadsheet is called Default. Any commands
or macros that are not listed in the spreadsheet use the security code
selected for the default.

You can change the security code for the default. Initially, it is an
asterisk (*), which means unlimited access. If you leave it as an
asterisk, you have to list all RSView32 commands and macros you
want to secure. This is referred to as security by inclusion. If you
change the default to a letter, you have to list only those commands
you want users who are assigned this code to have access to. This is
referred to as security by exclusion.
