This module ensures that the project starts securely and only on authorized computers. At launch, the system verifies:

Device Lock Verification: Ensures the database can only run on a designated device, adding an extra layer of data security.

Version Check: Confirms the database version is up-to-date. If not, the user is prompted to download the latest version, preventing data loss or compatibility issues from outdated files.

Expiry Date Verification: Checks the system’s expiration status. If the database has expired, the program will automatically close, preventing unauthorized usage.

Local Network Backend Verification: Confirms the connection to a shared backend file over a local network, ensuring that all users access synchronized data.

This module protects data integrity, maintains a secure operating environment, and supports smooth collaboration by ensuring each user accesses current, authorized versions. The local network verification fosters real-time data sharing without security compromise, enhancing teamwork and data reliability.

This system allows dual login pathways for admins and general employees with distinctive functionalities:

User Registration and Admin Approval: Employees register in the system, and the admin can approve or deny access, ensuring only trusted individuals enter the database.

Password Management: The system includes password complexity checks, password reset functionality, and secure change options to strengthen security.

The module offers significant security by controlling user access, restricting sensitive data, and creating user-specific access points. This ensures that only authorized personnel handle important information, safeguarding against data breaches and unauthorized actions.

This module automatically logs every user action within the system. Activities tracked include logins, logouts, creation of invoices or purchase orders, and recording expenses:

Admin Access to Logs: Admins can monitor all activity logs, which can be filtered by time or activity type.

User Activity View: Users can review their individual activity logs, ensuring transparency and personal accountability.

By logging all activities, this module adds an essential level of accountability. Admins can monitor patterns, identify issues, and track productivity, while users benefit from a self-auditing tool that supports professionalism and time management.

A permissions-based control module that restricts or grants access to various functionalities based on user roles:

Customized Interface Access: Users only see options relevant to their job roles. For instance, the finance team can access ledgers and expense tracking, while the sales team sees customer and sales data.

Feature Unlock Requests: Users can request access to additional features, pending admin approval for extra security.

This ensures that each employee focuses on their responsibilities without distractions, improving operational efficiency. It also restricts access to sensitive functions, protecting the system from unauthorized changes or accidental misuse.

This module provides a complete chart of accounts framework, including assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses:
