About security
By default the Mastersizer application software uses Windows user security. That
is, only a user logged into the computer that is physically connected to the instru-
ment can access the system. For many environments this level of security is suffi-
cient.
For quality controlled environments however, the optional Malvern Access Con-
figurator (or MAC) adds a fully-featured security system to the Mastersizer appli-
cation software. The MAC not only provides control over an individual user’s
access to the various features of the software, but also logs an audit trail of signifi-
cant system events, who performed them and when.
A full description of the functionality and features of the Malvern Access Config-
urator (or MAC) is provided in the MAC Help file.
Activating security
Note
This process should only be undertaken after setting up security privileges
for the Mastersizer in the MAC.
1. Choose Options from the Application button menu to
display the Mastersizer 3000 - Options window and then
choose Access Control.
2. Select Enable Access Control to activate the security fea-
tures
This option is only available once a security configuration file has been created
using the optional Malvern Access Configurator (MAC).
