A web-based method and system for controlling access to a client-centric relational computer database containing records of named client accounts comprising the steps of: establishing an identity for each client account user to access the relational database via the Internet represented by an assigned ID and password under the control of the client; establishing authorization records for each authorized user of an identified client which defines the access and data function privileges for such authorized user in one or more named client accounts with such records being under the control of the client or its designated agent; authenticating an authorized user when accessing the relational database via the Internet by the assigned ID and password; and opening a limited account user interface in response to when said relational database is accessed by an authorized user such that access is limited only to data function privileges and operations defined in the authorization records.
