You can activate security control either during creation of a company or by alteration of a company information. For alteration press Alt + F3 at Gateway of Tally and then select Alter.

At the option 'use security control' at the company alteration screen, type 'yes'. After you enable the option it will ask you to specify the Name of Administrator(or owner) and a password. Additional users can also be created.

Security Control

The Security Control is needed to ensure secrecy of financial data, which is very important for every organisation. In case of computerized accounting the matter becomes all the most important, since, in an office the computer system is accessed by people of all hierarchy of staff. As a result this makes the data stored in the computer open to all, if no measures have been taken to restrict such free access.
