Project Security
Security System dialog
The main Security System dialog is used to manage the project security system after it has been initially
configured.
Accessing the dialog
Assuming the project security system has already been enabled (i.e., you have used the security system
configuration wizard at least once), then you can access this dialog by doing one of the following:
• On the Project tab of the ribbon, in the Security group, click Configure; or
• In the Global tab of the Project Explorer, right-click Security and then click Settings on the shortcut menu.
If you do either of these before the security system has been enabled, then the security system configuration
wizard will open automatically.
If you've already configured the security system and set a main password, then you'll be prompted to enter it.

out or manually logs off.
