Field Access

Within standard CCH Task Permissions, each plug in provides their own security task items.  Within CCH Reporting this is also the case.  Each plug in is responsible for providing security on all the fields available within the product. 

By default all fields are set to allow for all security groups, therefore, Administrators are required to remove any security permissions where necessary. 

The reporting field permissions are found within the Task Permission tab, select the Product (Central, Accounts Production etc), select the Security Group and expand the sections related to reports (Reporting, Reports and Smart Reports): the access to the report fields are distributed across the products.
