Custom Preparer Security is used to establish specific and unique security for an individual preparer. If you want to assign the same custom security to many preparers, the Group Security feature can be a better option.
Note
Security settings are not assigned to the preparer until you have clicked the Save button on the Preparer Setup screen.
