MPM has built-in security, which provides access control for project data and MPM features. If you require a top secret level or if you are in a Tempest environment (Emission or Emanations Security), you can be sure that only those individuals expressly authorized by the MPM system administrator will have access to MPM. Within MPM, there can be multiple users who are designated as system administrators or project administrators. Administrators are authorized to grant individual users permission rights to projects or to features of MPM. See Introduction to Security Access.
