Enter client passwords

Password protection lets you control access to specific clients. If you assign a password to a client's data, you'll need to enter that password whenever you open the client's return in UltraTax CS.
  1. Select
    File
    , then
    New Client
     or
    File
    , then
    Client Properties
    , and select
    Advanced Properties
    .
  2. If your security configuration requires it, enter the master password and select
    OK
     to enable the fields in this tab.
  3. Mark the
    Deny access to client data unless password is known
     checkbox.
  4. Enter the password in the
    Client password
     field then enter it again in the
    Verify
     field. Note that client passwords can't exceed 8 characters.

note
  • To remove the password for the open client, repeat steps 1 through 3 to return to the
    Restrict Access
     tab and unmark the
    Deny access to client data unless password is known
     checkbox.
  • To change the password for the open client, repeat steps 1 through 3 and enter the new password in step 4.
  • If you forget a client's password, use the master password when opening the client. UltraTax CS opens the
    Restrict Access
     tab and prompts you to enter a new password for the client.
  • You can only add a password to a client one at a time, manually.
