Team Security can be applied to clients, contacts or suppliers whose details you wish to keep private. Applying team security ensures that only those client partners and employees who are members of the team associated with “private” clients, contacts or suppliers can view their details. You can select a setting within the Client/Contact/Supplier page > Responsibility tabs that enforce the team security restrictions on individual contacts. | UI Text Box |

| If any employee has Full Assignment Access ticked on the Main tab of their employee record, this will also give the employee access to these 'private' clients. |

| Users cannot select the Apply Team Security checkbox if no team members have been added in the Contact/Client/Supplier > Responsibility > Team area. The message “You must add at least one Team member to apply Team Security” is displayed if you try to do so. |
Team security restrictions also apply to:Client, contact or supplier search
All search options (i.e., New search, Append to search, New search from reports and New search from lists) will exclude private clients, contacts and suppliers from the list produced in the table if searched by a restricted user (i.e., someone who is not a member of that security team).
The same restriction applies to the following functions at the bottom of the search screen: - Homepages
Clients or suppliers that have team security applied will still display in the various homepages. But, if a restricted user tries to click a private client or supplier, that user will see the error message “You do not have rights to view this contact”. Client and contact reports
Several standard reports show core standing data such as client or contact names, addresses, associations and telephone numbers. These reports also provide a hyperlink that lets you go directly to the client, contact or supplier record.
The following reports have team security restrictions applied to them: Report Area | Report name |
|---|
Client | Client and Contact Addresses | Client Contact Details | Client Details | Client List | Contact | Contact Details | Contact List | Contacts and Clients | Assignment (AE) | Assignment Billing Timetable | Assignment List | Standing Data | Document | Maintenance | Associations |
Mail merge
Mail merge uses the search option under client, contact or supplier to generate a list of clients, contacts or suppliers that you can generate mail merge documents for.
As team security restrictions have been applied to the search area for clients, contacts and suppliers, they will have the same effect on the mail merge option. Associated contacts
Clients and contacts can be associated or linked to each other. This association enables viewing of the related contacts from either end of the relationship.
If one of the linked or associated contacts is tagged as a private contact, restricted users cannot view the contact details from within a linked client, contact or supplier. (AO, New Zealand) Tax Manager
