•User Database with buttons to Create, Select and Update the database. User databases hold data that is specific to a single user such as screen sizing and temporary report files.

•The User Security level of the current user. If security levels have been selected for the current company, the current user can only see jobs whose security level is less than or equal to his level. This blocks access to those users
