Logging in to iBase

When you log in to iBase, you open a security file that defines the permissions for the user account to which you are logged on. The security file connection is closed when you log out.

  • Change the local iBase instance, for example:
    • Plug-ins available.
    • Basic, charting, and advanced settings for using iBase.
