CAMS has two login password protected access mechanisms: one is to login to the server and the second is to login as a user. Each user must use a complex password to use CAMS, and every account is uniquely identified for that user.

Workers only have access to case files they are attached to. Only managers have access to program reports. Hiding records or case notes requires administrative approval.

Incremental backups happen every 15 minutes. A full backup is taken every night.
