Setting Access Rights

User access rights determine the controls available to the user in the Product Directory. For example, when you only assign a user the Execute right, then only the options associated with this right appear on the Product Directory.

You can give each user account the following access rights to a product.

Table 1. Control Manager User Account Options

Permission

Description

Execute

This right permits the user to run commands on managed products in assigned folders. For example:

  • Start Scan Now

  • Deploy pattern files/cleanup templates

  • Enable Real-time Scan

  • Deploy program files

  • Deploy engines

  • Deploy license profiles

Configure

This right gives the user access to the configuration consoles of the managed products in the assigned folders. Users with this right can see Configure <managed product> and similar product-specific controls (for example, OfficeScan password configuration features) on their menus.

Edit Directory

This right permits the user to modify the organization of the managed products/directories the user can access.
Note:

The options that actually appear also depend on the product’s profile. For example, if a product does not have a scanning function, such as eManager, then the Scan Now control does not appear in the Product Tree Tasks menu.

The User Accounts screen displays the following.
