It is possible to import all this data from separate files, produced by other applications (provided it is in the correct format).
 
For initial testing, this is the easiest way to begin exploring Gestinux.
 
 
Currently, files produced by French accounting software (SAGE 100) are [https://sourceforge.net/projects/gestinux/files/Imports%20for%20test/French/Sage%20Ligne%20100/ provided] which you can import to set up a test accounts database.

Rights to enter or edit setup

By default, all users can change the setup and other data.

If you want, you can create several users and forbid some changes on setup data for some of them. Up to now, this must be done with a SQL administration tool, removing some rights from some tables in the database. You can ask for help from a developer.

Menu options and buttons will always been displayed active and when some forbidden change is attempted, the user will only get an unfriendly, hard to understand message. This should be improved in the future...

The password of an username can be changed in Gestinux as explained on this page
