As weird as it seems any software that locks children out, like Internet Guard Dog,(McAfee), can also lock them out of your control panel, thus not being able to get into certain programs. I had three teenages who where constantly getting into software and messing around. After intalling this application, lo and behold, I was also able to lock them out of whatever application that resided on my computer. A nice afterthought to that software.
Ok, next question. Your security Administrator should know that you can let people into software, maybe to add input, and copy the changes, however, the only way it will really save it is for the person working on it to put it on a floppy and give it to the Administrator.
What happens is the user is not given the total application, just a copy of the templates so they can do there work. If they want a specific file then the Admin gives them the priviledge to modify it, however, the must back up to floppy once again to be installed on the total application, Microsoft Excel is a good software to do a trial on. Does that help?
So basically you can assign the user for certain priviledges to the application, modifying it at their station, but not having access to the total application, especially not messing with other users data.
Hope that helps.
