You’re probably aware that the data files were moved to a “Database” folder during the Version 19 conversion. Are your Platinum firms taking advantage of this change?
This file structure reorganization made it possible for us to implement our new Platinum Data Security feature. This feature allows firms to implement restricted network permissions so that only authorized users (typically Admin and IT users) have access to the Tabs3 Database folder. Users without full rights to the Database folder can only modify those files using Tabs3 software. This prevents unauthorized users from accessing the files on the network, but still allows them to work in the software. Restricting network access rights helps protect key Tabs3 data files from accidental or malicious attempts to compromise your important Tabs3 information.
Implementation of this feature is accomplished by changing write permissions to the Database folder on the server, not from within the Tabs3 software. More information can be found in Knowledge Base Article R11763, “Platinum Data Security.” This feature is available in all releases of Version 19 Platinum software.
