  9. User access issues • Permissions are often overlooked when setting up new users • Permissions are linked to user categories, and often users accidentally remove their access by changing categories. • User categories do not reflect any status within Bpi.e letters or invoices. • Passwords are often forgotten and cannot be reset by Bp. • Other users with full access to Bp can reset for the other user • Passwords are also used for database access for third party programs • Store these database passwords in a safe location, as this grants any experienced user full access to the raw database.
