With most screens and functions in CIM GOLD, there are two types of security: screen level and field level.

 

Screen Level

 

Screen-level security is set up using the Security > Setup screen > CIM GOLD tab. Your security officer must give each user security approval in order to use IRS GOLD. With the appropriate CIM GOLD screen security, your employees can view and change IRS forms entered into the system at any time.

 

The following screen example shows which IRS GOLD security options are available:
