If No security is used, any user in the domain can change a configuration parameter without identification.
If Windows accounts are used, changes made to configuration parameters are saved together with timestamp and identified user account.
For a simple installation, where all modules (SQL database, server application and client application) are installed on the same computer, the No security option may be used. This is a normal setup for a service engineering laptop computer.
