Setting exclusive access

Some operations require exclusive access to a company by a single user, while many do not. Usually, you set the access when you open the company. However, if you have already opened the company, you can easily return to the Company List screen to change the type of access.

Note: If you are not a company administrator, a company administrator must grant you exclusive access permission (in the 7-2-2 User List window). Without this permission, you will not see the option to open the company exclusively in the Company List window.

To set exclusive access:

  1. In the lower right corner of the Sage 100 Contractor main window, click the Change Company/Access link.
  2. In the Company List window:
    1. Make sure the company you want to work with is selected.
    2. Select the Open company exclusively checkbox.
    3. Click Open.

Note: If you want to log in as a different user, you must close Sage 100 Contractor completely, and then log in using a different user name.
