Information Security

Mavim allows you to secure access to information with a user name and password. You can restrict access to either the entire database (see Database Security) or the topics within the database (see Security on Topics). A special form of security involves the ability to authorise certain databases to import versions:, see: Distribution Lists.

Only an Administrator has the authority to modify rights for other Administrators, Users, groups and access rights. For more information regarding the creation of Administrators, see:

Administrator Management.

Note: It is important to manage the passwords of Users and Administrators. The first step in securing a database is to create a password for the default Administrator account "SUPER". (see Passwords)
