To access the Lucity Security Program, a user must have the Run permission for Security Admin.

If at least one user has the Run permission, the regular Lucity Administration Login prompt appears when the Security Program is launched:
Should a Lucity administrator forget his or her password, or, if a Lucity administrator is unavailable or leaves an organization, another person with high-level DBMS credentials can access the Security Program by pressing CTRL-Rat the Administration Login prompt. The login fields will change, allowing the user to enter a database system administrator login and password.
