Configure security
If, on the Prerequisites page, you chose "Real Work for a Product", as opposed to "Proof of Concept", perform the steps on this page.
For security, configure your server to ensure that no one outside your team can create a user account.
In Helix Core Admin, navigate to Administration > Password Security Level. Select Security Level 3. Click OK.
Now, every user must have a strong password. If the Set Password dialog appears, create a strong password for the Helix Core administrator, and click OK.
The Helix Core administrator can set passwords in P4Admin. On the User & Groups tab, right-click on the user name and choose Change Password.
Restrict the creation of new users
We recommend that you disable public user account creation so that only the Helix Core administrator can create new users.

In P4V, right-click a file and click Open Command Window Here.

At this command prompt, issue the following command:

Restrict viewing the names of users
To disable unauthorized viewing of your user list, which includes each user's email address, at this command prompt, issue the following command:
p4 configure set run.users.authorize=1
The following confirmation appears:
For server 'any', configuration variable 'run.users.authorize'set to '1'
