We noticed there are additional security events in the 2021 version (such as view tax id in plain text).
Are all the events documented somewhere?
I believe for this security event we did not enable the permission for any group, including administrators. We often allow the administrators to get permissions by default upon upgrade for many new permissions…
Hi Steve,
Yes, all new events and features are all documented in every Sage 500 version's Release Notes.
For this one question you have, this have been included since v2019 (I think).
And this is what…
I believe for this security event we did not enable the permission for any group, including administrators. We often allow the administrators to get permissions by default upon upgrade for many new permissions. However, it was felt that for the taxpayer ID in plain text was one that we should not enable for anyone by default, and that it should be assigned intentionally with the thought that administrators likely do not need this permission as part of their job. In the end, those who run the system should decide who gets it on a need to know basis. From the SM Module:
