What is Access Managed Environment (A.M.E.)?

Access Managed Environment (or "A.M.E.") is a user-management utility for the early Macintosh.

---

Access Managed Environment (A.M.E.) is an integrated security and virus program. The carefully designed user interface makes it easy to set up a Macintosh with just the kind of security required.

The program can maintain order on a Mac that is used by many people. Users can be given access to only the tools they need to do their work. For multiple users, access privileges can be set for files, folders, programs and disks. Other features include: Volume Lock, which prevents access to a hard disk when someone tries to start up with another system disk; Activities Log, which records the activities that take place on a user’s Mac; viral protection; password options; auto sign off; auto sign on; true file erase; alerts; online contextual help; and more.
